Bernard Laporte, who was recently named President of the French Rugby Federation, has committed to the nation making a bid to host the 2023 Rugby Union World Cup.
Laporte, who has been in his role less than three weeks, has already made a big impact on French rugby.
He has halted plans to construct an 82,000-seater Rugby stadium in Paris, as well as recently announcing that the French team was to stop calling up 'foreign' players for international duty.
France will compete with Ireland and South Africa to host the 2023 World Cup, with Laporte stating, ''we aim to showcase France's wonderful major event credentials to host the most beautiful event in world rugby''
