I am obviously delighted. We must continue in this direction. 50% of the players on the French team come from villages of less than 15,000 inhabitants. It’s not a coincidence if I am, and I am amazed by your welcome Saturday evening I was in Castres, where I saw a small rugby match today I am going to see a big match. rugby » After receiving the city medal from the hands of the mayor, a jersey flocked with his name, local products offered by Michel Ruamps, and before kicking off the Nicolaïte face meeting. has Valencia d’Albi (which ended in a draw), Florian Grill did not shy away from his pleasure of spending his day where it all begins, by multiplying the questions.
