If you are a Blues fanatic, you probably follow their adventures all over the world. And not just on weekends. A luxury now made possible thanks to social networks, and in particular the regular broadcast of the famous “Mixed Destiny”, which allows you to experience moments in French intimacy.
Episodes which also reveal the distinguished guests that the France group has already received in Marcoussis or elsewhere, in order to discuss. Jumbled together, we can cite Jean Dujardin, Yannick Noah, Didier Deschamps or the icon of the South-West, Francis Cabrel.

“BSD” is in fact nicknamed “the God of War”: no need to detail his way of fighting in a cage… Distinguished soldier, known for his unfailing determination and his ability to never give up, even when he is mistreated, there is no doubt that his intervention at Marcoussis must have inspired some.
In any case, many players from the French XV, followers of MMA or not, did not hesitate to immortalize the moment with Benoît St-Denis. Hoping that this inspires the Blues as to the level of intensity they will have to bring into the battle against New Zealand. Answer Saturday evening, around 9 p.m.… Oss!
