In the company of Florian Grill, new president of the FFR, Emmanuel Macron greeted the players of Stade Toulousain and Stade Rochelais before the start of the meeting.
As tradition dictates. Absent in the eyes of all during the Coupe de France final on April 29, Emmanuel Macron this time took to the lawn to greet the players and the refereeing corps of this Top 14 final.
Accompanied by Florian Grill, recently elected president of the French Rugby Federation, Emmanuel Macron shook hands with the players of both teams, as well as the refereeing corps. The President of the Republic was closely followed by René Bouscatel, President of the League, Didier Lacroix, President of Stade Toulousain or Vincent Merling, President of Stade Rochelais. His arrival on the lawn of Saint-Denis was accompanied by a few whistles from the public.
LIVE – Top 14 Final: very lively start to the match between Toulouse and La Rochelle
During this protocol, the Head of State spoke at length with many players. No less than twelve French internationals are present this Saturday evening at the Stade de France. The exchanges were long and cordial with several executives of the Blues, such as Antoine Dupont, captain of Toulouse and the XV of France, or Greg Alldritt, captain of La Rochelle. Several foreign players also warmly greeted the president.
