It was as a neighbor that Didier Deschamps visited the XV of France on Monday. The coach of the Blues of football spent the day with those of rugby, who are in preparation for the World Cup on the side of Monaco. “DD”, who lives a few kilometers from the Rock, was able to converse with Fabien Galthié and his staff, as well as with the French players.
The latter even received from Antoine Dupont the jersey of the French rugby team autographed by the whole group. A native of Bayonne, Deschamps always keeps a watchful eye on rugby and gets along well with Galthié.
As a reminder, the XV of France will start its World Cup at the Stade de France against the All Blacks on September 8. The day before, the French football team will face Ireland in a qualifying match for Euro 2024… at the Parc des Princes.
