Saturday evening, the XV of France will continue with a third preparation match for the next World Cup. After two games with very different stories against Scotland, Fabien Galthié’s men face Fiji in Nantes. A meeting marked by the first captaincy of Grégory Alldritt. The third line explained behind the scenes of this promotion from the French coach.
At home, the XV of France wishes to hurt the opponent. After Saint Etienne and Geoffroy Guichardit is well on the side of the Beaujoire of Nantes that Fabien Galthié’s men will try to continue their good preparation for the World Cup.
“Fabien told me at the beginning of the week”
Promoted to captain XV of France for this meeting, Gregory Alldritt spoke about this very special moment in a career, in remarks relayed by the team. “Fabien (Galthié) told me at the start of the week. It’s a lot of pride and a great honor to be captain of the fifteen of France. But it’s a label, and it doesn’t change who I am. I stayed the same all week and I will stay the same again tomorrow. I’m lucky to have players who will help me, I’m thinking of François (Cros) who is very important for the group, plus he’s coming back. That’s great. For everything that is melee, I know that Uini (Atonio) will be very good advice. Antoine (Hastoy) I’m used to too, Max (Lucu) too. We have a very good squad for tomorrow.”.
“It’s been four years that we really feel this craze rising little by little”
” I am very happy “continues the third line. “We’ve been really feeling this enthusiasm for four years growing little by little, pushing hard with us. Four years ago during the World Cup in Japan, I missed this fervor. I didn’t really feel that we were playing a World Cup. There, we feel it coming. It’s just fantastic for us players.”.
