While the senior side prepare for the crucial clash with Tonga to determine who meets England in the Federation Shield final, the next generation of French internationals take on a BARLA side in Lézignan tomorrow (Wednesday).
France made amends for last week's disappointment by dismissing the Samoan challenge in Colomiers. With the score at 10-6 at half-time, the French cut loose in the second half to run out 28-6 winners - Jamal Fakir leading the way with two tries.
This puts France into second place on the table with one game remaining - against Tonga in Castres next week. Win that, and a final berth is a certainty.
France came off second best in the Federation Shield opener at a sodden Headingley as a talented England side took full advantage of French profligacy in possession.
