The coach-selector of the French rugby sevens team led an intensive preparation phase in Capbreton to best prepare for the next WRSS matches in Toulouse and then in London. ” After a good first week of recovery, the second week allowed us to gain momentum with opposition against Japan at the end of the course. Players were able to experiment in a more in-depth and concrete way our current developments in the game project said Jérôme Daret.
« It’s a very good exercise that allows you to consolidate the construction of different scenarios, particularly concerning the contest and break-down phases, while exploring the optimization of decision-making under high pressure during critical moments. At the heart of this course we also made it a point of honor to master the tempo and the change of rhythm. This is what allows us to create this spontaneity in the game and thereby promote the winning of duels and collisions. I repeat it often: there are no small teams of 7 and we will have a lot to do at the sight of the meetings during the group stage. The France Sevens in Toulouse will be a new opportunity to continue to grow and gain experience to get an Olympic medal. »
Currently, France is 4th in the world rankings, behind New Zealand, Argentina and Fiji. Friday, the Blues will start the tournament against South Africa (2:35 p.m.), then face the United States (8:35 p.m.). Saturday, they will be opposed to the Fijians (2:11 p.m.). After this group stage, it’s time for the quarter-finals.
