Since last Sunday, the 42 players of the French team selected to play in the Six Nations tournament have arrived in Nice for their preparation. This Wednesday, during a training session open to the public, they were able to share moments with their fans from the French Riviera.
Men, women, children. There were many on Wednesday morning at the Arboras Stadium to see their champions. On the agenda, a training session lasting nearly 2 hours for the Blues of the French rugby union team in preparation for the Six Nations tournament, which begins in about ten days against the English.
In cool but sunny weather, the 41 players (Ollivon was in London for the official presentation as captain) were able to practice their routines. First physical and technical work, before offering strong challenges that delighted the crowd that came in large numbers to witness the spectacle.
The session ended with workshops organized around the work in conquête for some, while others took a visit to the gym.
This training ended with an autograph and photo session with the players, who were always smiling and available.
For the rest of the program, tomorrow Fabien Galthié, the coach, will release fourteen players who will be available to their clubs for the 14th day of the Top 14.
And then, on January 30, the team lineup will be announced, three days before the match against England, the world vice-champions. It will then be time to head to Marcoussis in Essonne to complete this preparation phase.
