Ramos doesn’t want to compare himself to the All Blacks
“We are not in comparison with what the Blacks did against Namibia. They have done some very good things that we can build on. We want to be good on our attack and defensively. Whether we score more or less points than the Blacks will not make us happy or not at the end of the match,” declared Thomas Ramos. New Zealand defeated Namibia 71-3.

Ramos: “It’s nice to see the guys come back”
Thomas Ramos reacted to the return from injury of several French XV executives: “These are players who have an important place in the group and who play regularly. It’s nice to see the guys coming back from injury. We are very happy. It allows us to continue working at 33 and avoid having players on the side.” After the return of Jelonch, Baille and Danty will also be lined up against Namibia.

On the front page of the far-right weekly Valeurs Actuelles, Antoine Dupont dissociated himself from the newspaper on Instagram. “I think I developed my position by making that move.

Dupont “very happy” with Baille’s return
“This injury was a big blow for him. It was a lot of disappointment and doubt at first. He made the effort by working for several weeks to be able to come back to this match. He is a very efficient player who allows us to have a different profile. We hope this will be useful to us. I am very happy to see him return to this match and I am sure that he will make every effort to be at the best level,” said Antoine Dupont about his teammate Cyril Baille, back from injury.

The great return of Baille and Danty
Injured in the calf during the preparation match of the French XV against Scotland on August 12, Cyril Baille will return to the Blues this Thursday. Selected by Fabien Galthié in the group of 33 despite his injury, he is therefore preparing to return to the field a little over a month after his last match, and having missed the first two matches of the Blues. Jonathan Danty, also absent since the start of the competition, will also start the match against Namibia. Left to rest against Uruguay, the captains are back.
