On it, faces stood out. Auscitain Paulin Riva, Olympic champion with the French rugby sevens team of which he is captain, did the honor of his presence.

By agreeing to take on the role of godfather, the professional rugby player, who trained his weapons near the Bassoues dungeon and on the Jacques-Fouroux meadow, demonstrated that he had not forgotten his Gers roots.

Players, referees, volunteers, rugby schools… Over the course of the evening, the veil was lifted on the prize list.
