« I have no concerns about Fabien, quite the opposite. We are delighted with the collaboration with him. The quality of work he has provided reinforces our confidence in him by 200%, » he added, assuring that he will leave it to the coach to « decide on the sports lessons » to be drawn from Sunday’s defeat.

However, he emphasized that « when we want to be world champions, it’s not just the French team that needs to be professional: the entire Federation also needs to be. And I believe that politically, we are dwarfs at the international level in terms of the governing bodies. »

« And that is one of the major lessons » from this World Cup, organized entirely on French soil for the first time, Mr. Grill estimated to AFP. « France does not have international influence, I am convinced of it. We do not have a single representative on the World Rugby Board, » he pointed out.
