However, news has broken this morning in Midi Olympique that France have decided to go in a different direction.
Long time Toulouse coach, Guy Noves, has reportedly been given the nod ahead of the likes of Raphael Ibanez and Fabian Galthie following a meeting of the French rugby federation on Tuesday.
If indeed it is the case, Noves will take over from Philippe Saint-Andre following the end of the World Cup later this year.
