Lievremont looks for French consistency

MARC LIEVREMONT has painfully recalled France’s Twickenham capitulation against England last season, labelling it “a slap in the face”.

Les Bleus launch their RBS 6 Nations campaign against Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday week, with many pundits predicting a two-horse title race between France and reigning champions Ireland.

France have won the Six Nations four times in its 10-year existence, including two Grand Slams — 2002 and 2004. But their ability to self-destruct has also surfaced, most recently when England ran riot last year in recording a 34-10 success.
