1981 France Rugby Shirt

Disappointing since their victory in 1977, the French team hit rock bottom with a defeat in Romania. President Ferrasse appointed Fouroux as head of the French team, even though he was only 33 years old. The results were immediate, as during the 1981 tournament, the Petit Caporal's men, with Jean Pierre Rives as captain and a youngster named Blanco on the wing, defeated the four British nations to achieve another Grand Slam.
