D – 1 before the start of the Women’s Rugby World Cup next night in New Zealand with South Africa – France opening. All week, we have offered you a series on France Blue Occitania entitled “They are going to do the World”, to better know our 9 Blagancaise and 5 Toulousaines who make up a XV of France with an Occitan accent.
Finally, a spotlight this Friday on one of the stars of this World Cup, the scrum half of the Stade and Les Bleues Laura Sansus. The Lauragaise from Toutens was our exceptional guest
at 7:45 a.m., a few hours before the start of the competition.
Meeting with the Sansus family in Toutens
We went to meet his family in Toutens. Some are even preparing to go and encourage him in New Zealand. A hell of a trip organized by Laure’s aunt, Sandrine. They are nine in total, including mother Martine and brother Thomas. Elise, Laure’s grandmother, will not make the trip. But she will closely follow the adventures of her little girl from her house in Toutens.
For others it is a journey to the other end which is looming, 20,000 kms from Toulouse. A first for Martine, Laure’s mother. A lot of emotion also in the voice of her aunt Sandrine who organized everything. Because Laure is the pride of the Sansus family. Just shorten Margaux, her little cousin.
It is with the Blues that the scrum half of Stade Toulousain has decided to end his career at 28 in New Zealand, the country of rugby. So she hangs on, reminds her mother. Since Laure suffers from the knees. The World Cup having been postponed for a year due to the covid pandemic.
Special broadcast this Friday evening between 6 and 7 p.m.
The French face South Africa on Saturday at 3:15 a.m. French time. The French will try to do better than the last two editions, 4th in 2014 and 3rd in 2017. The Women’s Rugby World Cup, we are also talking about this Friday evening in a 100% dedicated rugby between 6 and 7 p.m. with the president of Blagnac Benoit Trey and the president of the Stade Toulousain association Gérard Labbe.
