After intensive public training on Thursday at the end of the day in front of nearly 2,000 supporters in Aix-en-Provence, the Blues once again benefit from two days of rest (this Friday and Saturday). “The staff gives us two full days off to recharge the batteries before returning to a classic match week,” explained fullback Melvyn Jaminet.
Some players will take advantage of this to bring their families. Others planned to return home during these two days of blackout. The last ones before the long straight of this World Cup.
A weekend which will also be marked by the return of Antoine Dupont to the group. The captain of the XV of France should reach Aix-en-Provence during the day of Saturday. He was expected earlier, but the scrum-half asked the staff to be able to rest two more days at his home.
