The XV of France left its preparation for the World Cup with a narrow defeat on Saturday in Scotland (25-21). They have three matches left to break in (against Scotland, Fiji then Australia) before launching “their” World Cup on September 8 against the All Blacks. The Blues are among the favorites for the world title and, in the event of a final victory, each Blue will receive a little less than 200,000 euros in premium, reveals Midi Olympique. In total, this would represent an envelope of 7.7 million euros for the FFR, including 6 million provided by the partners of the Federation.
This agreement was reached between the leaders of the Federation and a group of players which included Antoine Dupont, Gaël Fickou, Charles Ollivon, Gregory Alldritt and Julien Marchand. A lesser bonus will also be distributed in the event of the title of vice-world champion. But nothing if the Habs fail in the semi-finals.
