The fault was bad luck and picétout.

Guest of the morning of France Info, Bernard Laporte remained very evasive on the management of the cluster around the France team which put 11 players and five staff members on the flank for Scotland on Sunday.

“It's always difficult to know the origin of the contaminations, I would like to.

We want to know how we got there, but from the moment the President of the Republic is himself contaminated, it shows that this virus is difficult to control, ”said Bernard Laporte.

Asked to comment on the rumor of a fault by his coach Fabien Galthié, who would have broken the protocol by leaving Marcoussis last week according to several media, Bernard Laporte denied outright: "It's something that concerns me, I would like find out if anyone really made a mistake.

Will there be any sanctions?

We're not there yet.

I find it hard to imagine that there was a fault.

I went to Italy, I can guarantee you that I saw no one come out of the bubble.

An internal investigation demanded by the Ministry of Sports

revealed

.

The Federation, which has had four clusters in its national teams since the beginning of the year, will not escape an internal investigation demanded by the Ministry of Sports, the conclusions of which will be released within a week.

Until then, we will have to deal with Scotland with a team that has been greatly changed at the Stade de France: “You have to adapt, that's life.

It will allow talented young players who have already operated with the Blues in November.

Three years after a World Cup, it allows us to see a certain number of players, we must not cry over our fate ”.
