France beat Fiji to reclaim top spot in Nations Championship
- France stormed back to the top of the northern hemisphere Nations Championship table with a dominant but flawed 54-17 victory over Fiji on Saturday.
- Victory came at a cost, with fly-half Romain Ntamack, aligned alongside captain Antoine Dupont at half-back for the first time since March 2025, seemingly dislocating his shoulder in the build up to France's third try.
- With Matthieu Jalibert already out injured, France will face world champions South Africa next week without either of their best fly-halves.
