France's national rugby team delivered a commanding 54-17 victory over Fiji at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Saturday, November 7, 2026. France will next face South Africa at the Stade de France on Friday at 21:10 in the Championship of Nations. [1]
Despite the victory, the match was overshadowed by a significant injury to star halfback Romain Ntamack, who suffered a severe shoulder injury and was forced off the field. His absence necessitated Maxime Lucu to cover the opening position for the remainder of the game. Ntamack's injury casts a shadow over the upcoming match against the South African Springboks on Friday at the Stade de France, as France seeks to break a long winless streak against the two-time defending world champions.
