La Ville rose accueille le premier match du Mondial en France (8 septembre-28 octobre) ce dimanche 10 septembre, lors d’une rencontre attendue festive entre deux sélections qui ont, chacune, des choses à prouver.
An ambitious Japanese team, who reached the quarter-finals in 2019, will begin their World Cup campaign on Sunday, September 10th in Toulouse against Chile (1 PM). This will be Chile’s first-ever match in a World Cup.
Since their quarter-final in 2019 in their home World Cup, Japan has changed their status. The « Brave Blossoms » advanced from their group by defeating two historic nations in the sport, Ireland and Scotland. The objective against the modest Chileans, who are newcomers at this level, will be « to start the competition in the best possible way, » announces fly-half Rikiya Matsuda.
Battus lors de leurs quatre matchs de préparation face à l’Uruguay (26-25), la Namibie (28-26) et à deux reprises contre l’Argentine B (28-26 et 40-13), les Chiliens veulent surtout « donner une bonne image, montrer qu’on est une équipe courageuse » exhorte Lemoine.
