France can outclass any team, claims Pelous

FRANCE captain Fabien Pelous is confident his team can defeat any side in the world - starting with Wales on Sunday.

We have the means to outclass any team in the world if we play our own game,” the 30-year-old lock reckoned. “I'm not being pretentious, I really mean it.

“The new players have settled well,” he said. “We haven’t lost our strength on the fundamentals, possession and defence. We scored four tries against Ireland and I think we didn't play such a bad game against Italy.
