But Les Bleus still hold hopes of lifting the Six Nations trophy for the first time since 2010.
How can France win the Six Nations?
France can guarantee the Six Nations title if they win both their final two games with a bonus point and neither of their opponents score bonus points.
A bonus point is obtained when a team scores four tries in a match.
The losing team can also pick up a bonus point if they are defeated by seven points or less.
France face Wales and Scotland at home in the Six Nations.

Who else can win the Six Nations?
Wales and Scotland are the only teams other than France who can mathematically still win the Six Nations.
The Welsh will win the Six Nations if they pick up two points or more (a win, a draw or two bonus points) in Paris no matter what anybody else does.
Scotland must win all three of their remaining matches with bonus points (Ireland at home, Italy at home and France away) and then hope Wales do not pick up more than one point against the French.
Should two or more teams finish level on points, the title will come down to points difference in matches.
