It is a small town in the southwest of France, but Larriviere-Saint-Savin has a special appeal. With a church that is entirely dedicated to a sport that is dedicated to rugby, it is a unique facility. In “Notre-Dame du Rugby” there are a lot of jerseys on display, which are also intended to commemorate men who gave their lives on the rugby field. A documentation of tragic accidents. But this special chapel is also about the soul of the sport, about what rugby represents. About attitude and fair play, about discipline, hard work and teamwork on the pitch.
The local priest likes to point out all this, and these days such things are of particular importance to him and many of his compatriots. Because of the World Rugby Fair in France, which, so to speak, turns the country into an “oval republic” according to the shape of the rugby ball, a year before the Olympic Games in Paris: the Rugby World Cup on home soil, a spectacle that… Nation electrified.
