Philippe Saint-Andre backs French 'flair'

France coach Philippe Saint-Andre insists that there is still enough "flair" in his team to win the Six Nations.

France coach Philippe Saint-Andre has insisted that the team still has enough "flair" to win the Six Nations.

Les Bleus, who will host Scotland in their opening game, have not won the competition since 2010.

Despite questions over whether France are the force that they once were, Saint-Andre believes that they are capable of lifting the trophy this year.

"There is still some French flair in this squad," he told reporters. "We scored a lot of tries in November. Our target is to still play an open game. It is very difficult to say who will win the Six Nations. Four countries can win the tournament."

France welcome Scotland to Paris on February 7.
