Young people, local, an irremovable basis … The Galthié method to shape their French team

An increasingly blue top 14

176 players summoned, 108 caps: in five years, Fabien Garthié has seen a lot of people, and this gives the top 14 airs of mega-marcoussis. According to our calculations, 28.1 % of the 369 selectables in the championship worn the tricolor jersey, and almost half participated in a rally. Regarding the players' players, Galkié left on the basics of “expensive” Bernard Laporte (139 between 2000 and 2007), and it is paradoxical for those who wanted to establish stability in the choices. But he adapted to the circumstances: the covid in 2020, who forced him to launch players during the fall matches, and the heavy calendar of clubs, which requires his eyes to leave his frames at rest during the summer tours.
