The French team has been chasing after for 12 years. “When I was little, I watched TV I had the impression that the French team often made the Grand Slamremembers Grégory Alldritt, 3rd line of the XV of France. But we have realized over the past 10, 12 years that it is very difficult to win.

In Montpellier (Hérault), young players will be in front of their TV in the evening. “I’m proud of the Blues already, and I really want them to win, because it would be a Grand Slam and I’ll be happy“, says one of them.
