France inspired by Welsh style

FRANCE are taking inspiration from Wales’ attacking model as they attempt to settle on their own style for the RBS 6 Nations Championship, according to Les Bleus winger Cedric Heymans.

Heymans, who has been recalled to France’s team for today’s match against Scotland in Paris after being a replacement in last weekend’s defeat to Ireland, admires the Welsh style encouraged by new head coach Warren Gatland.

“I find the Welsh game clean and direct,” said the Toulouse flyer.
