On the field, in the weight room or in front of computer screens for video analysis, the 28 Blues summoned to Nice to prepare for the Six Nations Tournament spent a studious Friday.

On the program, under the sun of the Côte d'Azur, a long morning between muscle activation, video analysis and a fairly intense "fitness game" at the Arboras stadium, the lair of the local club.

The afternoon was reserved for recovery with a meeting on the playing field before returning to the stadium for a final implementation, called "collective clarity", where the players repeated their ranges.

The day before, they learned good news since the interministerial crisis committee gave a favorable opinion on the health protocol presented by the FFR, opening a small patch of blue sky on the 2021 Six Nations Tournament.

The Blues are meeting in Nice until February 4 to prepare for the first match of the competition, February 6 in Rome, against Italy.
