The 2011 Rugby World Cup was one of France’s most remarkable and unpredictable campaigns. Despite early pool-stage losses to New Zealand and Tonga, Les Bleus advanced to the knockout rounds with determination and grit. In the quarterfinal, France defeated England 19–12 in Auckland, followed by a narrow 9–8 semifinal victory over Wales in Wellington. In the final at Eden Park, France delivered a heroic performance against the All Blacks, losing by just 8–7 — one of the tightest World Cup finals in history. Captain Thierry Dusautoir’s outstanding display earned him Man of the Match and global admiration.

This signed jersey commemorates a legendary campaign and one of the greatest French rugby teams ever assembled — a must-have for collectors, fans of Les Bleus, or rugby enthusiasts worldwide.
