Journalist
Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
The French XV, under the direction of Fabien Galthié, is full of global talent, including Antoine Dupont, considered the best player. However, despite a Grand Slam in 2022, the prize list does not reflect this potential. As the 6 Nations Tournament approaches, criticism is rife about the Blues' inability to transform their potential into concrete victories.
Fabien Galthié has nothing to complain about with its squad. THE XV of France indeed counts in its ranks some of the best players on the planet, starting with Antoine Dupont, considered by many to be number 1. However, this is not felt in the Blues' record with the exception of a Grand Slam at the 6 Nations Tournament in 2022. “ We would like to have a more extensive list of winners but that's up to us, confided François Cros this week. We are the ones on the ground and it is up to us to make the necessary efforts to expand this list. We have a group that lives well, that plays well. Now it has to come to fruition. »
-“They didn’t earn enough”
A few days before the start of the 6 Nations Tournament, Sarah Pitkowski believes that the recent assessment of XV of France is not positive. “ They didn't win enough. We have to be consistent, we have the best player in the world, some of the best players in the world in each position, a coach who has retained a plethora of French players. It's not as if he had 50 players available, he called up 176. Over the last four years of the European Cup, we have two French clubs who have won the last four editions, with French players. in their workforce. So if you are pragmatic, you wonder how we manage to transform players who play in the same clubs together. Why isn't it the same thing? », asks the former tennis player in the Big Mouths of Sport.
“It poses a problem not to make it happen”
An opinion shared by Simon Dutin in the broadcast of RMC. « We have the best player in the world, indisputably. Behind Antoine Dupont, Thomas Ramos is the second player in the world at the moment. We have an exceptional generation which was built in the youth categories, which learned from the youth categories to win with this under-20 world title. You add some talented elements in there, a coach who brought, whether we like the mysticism in his words or not, a vision. He often talks about the famous path taken, he took us all with him, but after a while, you expect more. Obviously you expect moreestimates the consultant of Big Mouths of Sport. After a while, yes when you dominate and you show that you are really superior to other nations, it poses a problem not to achieve. »
