The coach of the France U20 rugby team world champion Sébastien Calvet could not hide his joy at a press conference alongside his captain Lenni Nouchi and the best player of the tournament Marko Gazzotti. “I would like to thank the managers of the French rugby clubs because they also contributed to this title by giving playing time to these players who are full of talent,” he said. I congratulate and thank those who trust the young people and I encourage them to continue because they are the future of French rugby and have largely the level of foreign players.
Gazzotti, for his part, hopes that this title will pave the way for Fabien Galthié’s XV de France in the quest for a world title among the big boys (September 8 – October 28). “It’s a great year for French rugby, now we hope that the big ones can also be world champions. If we could give them ideas, that’s great. We are happy to have been able to write our history” savored the French number 8 at the end of the final.
