For its return, will the Top 14 benefit from a World Cup effect?

The dream has passed. Since October 15 and the cruel one-point elimination of the French XV against South Africa (28-29), in the quarter-final of the World Cup, all of French rugby has been a little groggy. The Blues will not be world champions. The script of the film, written four years ago, was nevertheless crystal clear. Fabien Galthié’s team has returned to success and the public, is playing once again to a sold-out crowd, has found itself a bankable star in the person of Antoine Dupont and a multitude of adored players, and that’s what rugby is all about French, in a beautiful sacred union, which would change dimension after a world title at home.
