Scapular Rugby – Pierre Berbizier: “This matter is too far outside the French XV framework: it is within, between them that this must be resolved”

Asked by At the time of Rugbythe former national coach, Pierre Berbizierreturned to the reaction of Fabien Galthiéthe national coach, following the departure of our opening half, Matthieu Jalibertafter refusing reservist status: “ Fabien wants to calm things down. I think his reaction is quite healthy. The World Cup goal is still far away, and Fabien needs everyone. We don't know what the future will bring, with injuries, poor performance… I really see an intention to calm things down […] I believe that it is in their interest to discuss, to put things on the table and to clarify the situation. It is necessary that Fabien really tell him what he criticizes him for, but also the work to be done to be number 1 or number 2, and that Matthieu do the same. It is important that Matthieu knows what is expected of him, and that Fabien know if the player is capable of investing in this. This will happen through an exchange, and especially not in the public square. This matter is too far outside the framework of the XV of France: it is within, between them, that this must be resolved.« .
