Only one week left until the Rugby World Cup final! The closing ceremony will be held on October 28 at the Stade de France and a famous singer, former member of the jury of the show “The Voice” has been chosen to perform. Find out who!
The Rugby World Cup kicked off on September 8 at Stade de France. If the players of the French XV worked hard to bring the Cup home, they ultimately had to say goodbye to any hope of a big victory after being eliminated by South Africa in the quarter-final. In the aftermath of their defeat, complaints about possible misconduct by the referee appeared on the networks.
“It’s hard to have this speech, because there is frustration. I can’t wait to see the pictures again. When there is an advance of 60 m, when we slow down a ruck, it seems obvious. I don’t want to be the bitter person who complains about the refereeing because he lost the match, but I’m not sure that the refereeing was up to the challenge today” had even declared Antoine Dupont, the team captain, very saddened by the fact of not having been able to go further. But the time has already come to organize the grand final which will be held on October 28.
