Four years later, she is back. The Rugby World Cup starts in 100 days, with the highly anticipated kick-off of the competition between the XV of France and the All Blacks on September 8. And with it, the fourth season of “Terrain Favorable”, a web series produced by Société Générale. After Brittany in the first two seasons, director Benoît Pensivy continues the more international turn taken in the third version with this fourth version in six episodes, available in full from Thursday on the YouTube channel of one of the sponsors of the Worldwide and on MyTF1.
If it all begins in the Basque Country with Jonny Wilkinson in the role of conductor, the series takes amateur rugby players and former glories such as the ex-captain of the Blues Thierry Dusautoir, the former pillar Christian Califano, the Wallaby Matt Giteau and the All Black Richie McCaw around the world. We go to South Africa, New Zealand, Madagascar in this “favorable ground” where we also meet the South African world champion Siya Kolisi, the legend Dan Carter or Imanol Harinordoquy.
The fourth season revolves around the bonds that are created between adversaries on a field. In November, Wilkinson and his troupe attended one of the Basque derbies between fans of Ciboure and Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, the training club of two current international tricolors: Charles Ollivon and Maxime Lucu.
The viewer follows these sequences, a real advertisement for the beauty of the landscapes of this region of the South-West, with the voice of Wilkinson as the French-speaking narrator of this trip to different corners of the world where rugby is practiced. Something to warm up before this fall and the planetary meeting in France.
