Sebastien Vahaamahina did not even know he was captain when France slipped to Friday’s rudderless 24-19 Guinness Six Nations loss to Wales in Paris. “I did not even know I was captain,” Vahaamahina told Midi Olympique. Louis Picamoles and Yoann Huget crossed for tries to put Les Bleus in almost total control at 16-0 at half-time in Paris on Friday. France lost 15-13 to Ireland in last season’s Six Nations opener, thanks to Johnny Sexton’s monster drop-goal in Paris. Vahaamahina’s revelation he had not been informed he was captain will only heighten the notion of a disorganised France squad in almost total disarray.
