XV of France: Lombard-Etcheverry in the comments

Broadcasting the matches of the fall tour of the XV of France, TF1 has decided to bet on the commentator duo Stefan Etcheverry-Thomas Lombard. The first named, who has long officiated Top 14 and European Cup matches on Canal +, is today a columnist in Bruce Toussaint’s morning show “Bonjour”. Lombard is general director of Stade Français.

As mentioned Olympic MiddayChristian Califano will be the man on the ground for TF1. Isabelle Ithurburu, a little over a year after her departure from CRC to Canal +, will return to rugby with a magazine that she will host after each of the Blues’ matches.
