PARIS (Reuters) - France have been getting closer to the top teams recently but only a successful Six Nations campaign will help them approach this year's World Cup in top condition.

Jacques Brunel's side came agonizingly close to beating Ireland last March and South Africa last November when they also overpowered Argentina, but even if they felt short-changed, the results showed that there was still a gap to be filled.
