text: The French rugby federation is looking for candidates to replace France coach Philippe Saint-Andre following the World Cup. Since taking over from Marc Lievremont, who led France to the World Cup final in 2011, Saint-Andre has failed to impose himself, winning only 15 of his 37 games in charge. He has overseen poor results in the Six Nations, finishing no higher than fourth and even last in 2013.
