LONDON (Reuters) - The accepted wisdom about France in the Six Nations, or in almost every game of rugby they play, is that nobody knows “which France will turn up" -- and it seems to be a concern shared by their own coach.

Having secured a grand slam in 2010 and finished second in 2011, the year they were also pipped in the World Cup final, France have since finished fourth, last (for the first time since 1969) and fourth in the Six Nations.
