From our special correspondent in Aix-en-Provence,
Head to Namibia rather than controversies. The coach of the French Rugby World Cup 2023. But the captain was also questioned about the recent headline Current Valuesa few days after dissociating itself from an issue of the weekly devoted to “France Rugby”, and illustrated with the captain of the XV of France and Jean Dujardin.
“I developed my position by making this gesture”
He had reposted on Instagram the message published by Jean Dujardin: “France rugby yes, your values no. No recovery, thank you”, taking care to hide the name of the newspaper. This Tuesday, he was very firm after being questioned again on the subject:
“I think I developed my position by making this gesture, I’m not sure that this is the subject, now, of the press conference. »
Move along, there’s nothing to see, in short. And faced with this response, no other journalist risked prolonging the subject with Antoine Dupont, or with the other players present at this press conference. If this controversy bounces back on the captain of the Blues, his teammates are light years away from these controversies, and absolutely do not talk about it among themselves, we are told internally. The match against Namibia is on everyone’s minds, however, with the desire “to put in a successful performance”, more than to obtain the offensive bonus, after the average performance against Uruguay last Thursday (27-12) .
