For the first time since 2010, the French team has the opportunity to win the Grand Slam. Their coach confided in Tout le Sport.
When he arrived at the bedside of the Blues, at the very beginning of 2020, he wanted a conquering team, capable of winning matches and titles. Two years later, Fabien Galthié could know his first title with the XV of France, Saturday March 19, in the event of victory against England.
The opportunity to put words on a successful first part of the mandate. But that still does not completely satisfy the Lot man: “There is a big common experience now, even if I consider that the team is still in a growth phase, believes the coach. It won’t peak immediately but it’s a nice phase of growth.”
A “beautiful phase of growth” which could bring Dupont and company to the roof of Europe from Saturday, in a Stade de France committed to their cause. Like Fabien Galthié. “I watch them all the time, he smiled. I spend my time looking at them. I see their behavior, I see their evolution, I see how they behave in precarious situations, crisis situations. This is where we see the excellence of the man, it is on the ground, in action. If I had to sum up and find a word that suits these players very well, it’s: brave men”.
After having already proven it many times in the Tournament, the XV of France will have to be brave one last time, Saturday at 9 p.m.
