Le mois de décembre est chargé pour le nouveau staff du XV de France appelé par le sélectionneur Fabien Galthié. Dix jours après sa présentation officielle au Pic-Saint-Loup (Hérault) le nouveau staff a dirigé sa première séance d’entraînement mardi 5 décembre.

Dans le cadre de la préparation au Tournoi des Six Nations 2024, le staff est réuni du 4 au 7 décembre au C.N.R. de Marcoussis (91) pour un stage d’entrainement, suivi d’un séminaire de travail du mercredi au jeudi.
« S’entraîner à entraîner », est le nom de cette première session – menée avec les U20 développement – pour que tous les membres s’alignent sur le même projet.
Le staff était au complet sur les terrains de Marcoussis : Patrick Arlettaz (en charge de l’attaque), Laurent Sempéré (en charge de la conquête), Nicolas Jeanjean (en charge de la performance), mais aussi ceux qui ont rempilé comme Shaun Edwards (défense) et William Servat (mêlée).
Une convention à renouveler le 13 décembre
Après ce séminaire de quatre jours, l’échéance suivante sera le mercredi 13 décembre où la Fédération Française de Rugby (FFR) et la Ligue Nationale de Rugby (LNR) rediscuteront de la convention qui lie les deux parties et censée faciliter le passage des internationaux des clubs à l’équipe nationale et inversement.
Depuis Marcoussis, Galthié sera en visio avec l’ensemble des clubs du Top 14 pour leur partager son analyse sur la campagne tronquée de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby et tenter d’obtenir les mêmes moyens dont il bénéficiait au fil des années précédentes, soit, entre autres, la mise à disposition de 42 joueurs pour préparer les matchs des Bleus.
« Ce cadre ne changera pas jusqu’en 2027 », avait tranché le président de la LNR René Bouscatel quelques jours avant. « Il faut continuer à travailler main dans la main », avait insisté Jean-Marc Lhermet, vice-président de la FFR, en charge du projet.
La même semaine, le staff établira une première liste de noms pour préparer le Tournoi des Six Nations qui va venir vite. La première rencontre est prévue contre l’Irlande le 2 février à Marseille.

« On commencera déjà à avoir une orientation pour l’équipe de France », a soufflé William Servat face à la presse au deuxième jour du séminaire du nouveau staff.

1 Go to commentsYes, Fiji can win the World Cup! With that belief plus their christian faith🙏 and hard work it is achievable. Great article. Ian Duncan Fiji resident 1981-84
2 Go to commentsInteresting comments about Touch. England’s hosting the Touch World Cup this year and the numbers have exploded since their last World Cup in 2019, something like 70% more teams and 40 nations taking part. And England Touch have made a big thing about how many universities are in their BUCS University Touch Championship as well as Sport England membership. Can only see this growing even more domestically as more people become aware of it

Hitherto so many pundits have been wittering on about Finlay Christie to the point one wondered if they were observing a FC in a parallel universe where the FC they saw wasnt just the mediocre Shayne Philpott project of Fosters hapless AB reign in the real world. Ratima, Perenara and Fakatava are the ONLY logical 9s for Razor now Roigard is crocked.

2 Go to commentsNow if they could just fire the Crusaders ground PA guy who likes to play his dance music and just loves the sound of his own voice the entire game, even when play is going on. And I thought their brass band thing of a few years ago was bad.
5 Go to commentsUnfortunately when you lose by far the two form players this season in Roigard and Aumua, you're left replacing two game changing Tanks with a couple of pea-shooters. Which is also about the speed of TJs pass.
2 Go to commentsBit rich coming from the guy with zero loyalty to anyone or any team, including happily taking a players place in a league world cup squad because well, SBW wanted to play in it and thus an already named player got told he was no longer going. And airing stuff like this, which may or may not be true, doesn't exactly say you're a stand up guy either SBW. Just looking to keep his name in lights as usual.

2 Go to commentsFiji deserve to be in the rugby championship, fans love seeing the Fijian national team play, the Fijian Drua is a wonderful idea but the players can still be stolen to play for NZ and AUS…

4 Go to commentsThe Chiefs definitely didn’t win ugly. They had the superior scrum, a dominant lineout, and their defence was excellent once the Waratahs scored their two tries (thanks to some lucky refereeing calls mind you). They put pressure on the Waratahs lineout throughout the game, and the mind boggles as to why the referee did not award a yellow card or a penalty try against the Waratahs for repeated scrum infringements on their own try line before Narawa’s first try. And the Chiefs were slick with their passing and running angles on attack. It was a dominant performance all round, even with many questionable refereeing decisions.

4 Go to commentsBig difference from the Saders. Forwards really muscled up and laid a solid platform. Scooter brought some steel and I liked the loosie combination. Newell has been rather disappointing this season but stepped up big time - happy also to see Franks dot down. He should do that more often! Reihana had a good game and there seems to be more flair and invention with him in the saddle. McNicoll plays well from the back and is reliable plus inventive when he joins the line. Keep it up chaps!
5 Go to comments🤦♂️🤣 who cares who’s the best . All I know is the All Blacks have the star coach but have few star players now …

1 Go to commentsAn on field red (aka a full red) in SRP must surely carry a bigger suspension than a red card given by the bunker as that carries a 20 minute team punishment. Had Damon Murphy abdicated his responsibility as a ref and issued both Drua players a yellow, which would have been upgraded to a 20 minute red by the bunker, that would have killed Australia and New Zealand’s push for the 20 minute red to be trialled globally from July this year.
