1987 France Jersey No:5 worn by Jean Condom
vs England at Twickenham 21-02-1987
France won 19-15

France Grand Slam 1987

France’s second match of the 1987 five nations championship took them to Twickenham, a match they won 19-15 on route to their 4th ever Grand Slam. Bizarrely during the 1987 five nations championship France wore white against Wales, Ireland & Scotland, and wore Blue on only one occasion against England on the 21st February at Twickenham ‘making this an exceptionally rare and very sought after Jersey amongst French collectors’.
