Special Envoy to Saint-Étienne

Great first for the XV of France. On the occasion of their second preparation match for the World Cup (September 8-October 28) this Saturday against Scotland, the Blues will play with a white jersey where their name will be flocked on the back. It will be the first time in their history that the players of the France team will be entitled to this little novelty.

Note that other nations – such as England, Wales or Italy – have already adopted this “naming” on their tunic. In Top 14, Racing 92 had registered the name of its names, but on… the shorts. The kick-off of this second match of the Blues against Scotland, at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium in Saint-Étienne, is scheduled for 9:05 p.m.
