Rugby: the XV of France gives us a little happiness and hope

The XV of France beat Ireland 35 to 27 on Saturday night and finished second in the 6 Nations Tournament behind England.

For Virginie Phulpin, this team was able to give us a little happiness and hope. 

There was work, given our morale ... The staff of the XV of France had said that he would play for all the French, for children and for amateur rugby deprived of the field.

And the players did it, with all their hearts.

Thank you !

This is the kind of moment when we are very happy, confined on our sofas, to see sport illuminating our TV night.

As if we were together despite everything.

To love each other is to look together in the same direction, if I understood correctly?

And there, Saturday night, we were many to watch our XV of France.

Together.

It's not bad at the moment.

Especially since these Blues, they look like us.

It's been a long time since we saw them as our reflection, years to look away.

They resemble us in our faults as in our qualities.

As undisciplined on the ground as the French with the containment measures.

But these Blues have regained ambition, they know how to suffer and let storms pass the better to seduce with a few flashes of genius.

You know, this French Flair that we love to be so proud of and that we had lost sight of.

Yes, this XV of France has given us confidence by beating this Ireland which had been his pet peeve for a decade.

Fabien Galthié talks about a great promise, and that's exactly it.

The promises only engage those who believe in them and Virginie Phulpin wants to believe them.  

France did not win the Tournament, it finished second behind England.

Already, second, it had not happened since 2011, so we will not shy away from our pleasure.

But it's annoying when you know that the Blues beat England in this Tournament, and that if they finish second, it's because the classification takes into account the general goal-average, and not just that between the two teams tied.

They always have to be at an advantage, these English people.

Virginie Phulpin finds it a good sign to become a bit bad players again with England.

It means that the Blues can look again at this XV de la Rose eye to eye.

Fortunately, there is still progress to be made because we want to see this team grow.

But we get carried away in front of matches rather than deciphering bickering between the federation and the league.

It feels good, doesn't it?

They passed quickly, these 80 minutes of confinement.
