A tour that is good for morale. The XV of France ends a delicate year 2024 in the best possible way. The Blues concluded their November tour with a third victory in as many matches. After Japan and New Zealand, Antoine Dupont's teammates took on Argentina (37-23) at the end of a controlled game. Enough to give Fabien Galthié confidence for the coming months. At a press conference, the coach highlighted the accounting results of his team to respond to criticism: “It’s a continuity, the team is still at 80% victories despite a year 2024 that some say is more or less successful. But there are areas for progress. »
Galthié wants to keep the method at 42
During these three meetings, Fabien Galthié did not hesitate to make strong choices by doing without several executives and testing new faces. The former scrum half has highlighted certain young players and wants to further stimulate emulation within the group: “This 42-man method allows us to expand the potential of the team, to start preparing players like Marko Gazzotti who came on this evening (Friday), like Romain Buros who was waiting for his first cap and had a great match against the New Zealand, like Tevita (Tatafu) on the front line. This method creates emulation and quality in training. She challenges everyone. This is the method I prefer. If we have the possibility of remaining at 42, and I thank the clubs, for us, it is extraordinary. »
