"Experiencing something grandiose "

Since coach Fabien Galthié took the reins of the team, the day after the last World Cup, the French have rediscovered the taste of victory and won back the public. "We will prepare hard for this World Cup, warns the pillar Cyril Baille. We know that we have an audience that will push hard behind us, we really want to make them proud.
