France finished in second place in the Six Nations Tournament, won by Ireland, which won all its matches. If in the immediate future, the internationals will return to the daily life of their club, they all have in mind the next objective with the blue jersey: the World Cup at home.
Until now, players have tended to evade questions about the World Cup, hiding behind the Six Nations Tournament. From now on, they will be able to dream aloud of the World Cup. “It’s the dream adventure, said third line Charles Ollivon. It’s the biggest competition we can play, us rugby players. So yes, we’re thinking about it and we’re going to go there”.
“Live something great”
Since coach Fabien Galthié took over the reins of the team, the day after the last World Cup, the French have rediscovered the taste for victory and won back the public. “We are going to prepare hard for this World Cup, warns pillar Cyril Baille. We know that we have an audience that will push hard behind us, we really want to make them proud. With this group, which has known each other for 4 years, we also want to experience something grandiose. We will prepare accordingly”.
The opening game against New Zealand
After the end of the season in their respective club, the Blues will meet all summer to prepare for the World Cup, until the opening match, at the Stade de France against New Zealand, on September 8 at 9 p.m. hours.
