“Antoine has come back just as strong, if not better than before,” reassures François Cros before Japan

However, this competition has never seemed so strong…
It's true that there is great emulation in the group, with new players who obviously want to experience the adventure and be part of the group. It's normal, it's the law of sport. We haven't yet decided on the team composition for this weekend, but there will inevitably be changes. The good thing is that the 42 players who are here, plus those who came and went in the first week, are 200% committed for the good of the team. For the moment, moods are put aside. All players think about collective performance rather than their individual performance.
