Welcome to this live dedicated to the announcement of the list of Blues who will compete in the Rugby World Cup (from September 8 to October 28). Less than three weeks before the start of the competition, 33 elected officials will have the pleasure of hearing Fabien Galthié say their name.
What is it about ? The fateful moment for the 42 players who had done several weeks of preparation with the XV of France. They will find out whether or not they are selected to compete in the World Cup and try to win France’s first title in the competition.
Or ? At the very top of the TF1 Tower, in Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine).
At what time ? 1 p.m. (logical).
On which channel ? TF1 (logic).
Who live? Martin Untersinger.
What won’t we talk about? White tuna tiradito, Juliette Lacroix-Wasover’s recipe. It would be cruel at lunchtime.
