It’s a big page that turns for Lise Arricastre, the pillar of the Lons Section Paloise Rugby Féminin. She announced this Wednesday evening on social networks the end of her international career. In 13 years, the Gersoise has accumulated 72 selections, making her one of the most capped players still active. To his credit: two Grand Slams in the Six Nations Tournament (2014, 2018), and two participations in the World Cup (2014, 2017), each time with a third place in the key.
Regrets for not having been able to choose his exit
“This jersey, these sacrifices and this will have clearly changed my life forever. Learning to excel, to live in community, to accept our differences, to integrate, damn I’m so proud of it!!!“, writes Lise Arricastre. At 30, his dream of competing for a third in the world is flying away. His last selection dates back to October 2020, since then physical glitches and staff choices have prevented him from wearing the Bleues jersey again. During the XV de France Féminin match at the Hameau in November 2021, present in the stands, she could not hold back her tears. “My only regret is that I didn’t say goodbye to you with the rooster on my heart.“recognizes the player.
