He was part of one of Wales’ most successful coaching teams securing three Grand Slams and a Six Nations title in that time.

"I'm happy to join the France adventure alongside Fabien and Raphael," said Edwards.

"My goal is to maximize the speed of defence play. This method has already been successful in the past."
