FIGARO INFO – Arrived at Munster in the summer of 2022, the excellent center of the “Red Army” would see himself wearing the green jersey. He was called up three times by Ireland A on the autumn tour.
The destiny of Antoine Frisch seems to be written in green. Everything is done in this direction and his arrival at Munster, in the summer of 2022 with a 3-year contract at stake, is part of this logic. Having Irish origins through his maternal grandmother (originally from Dublin), the native of Fontainebleau can evolve with the XV of Clover.
“I came here to play for Munster and with the ambition to play for Irelandconfirmed the 26-year-old three-quarter center this Saturday at Le Figaro. It’s going very well with Munster and I went on tour with the Emerging Ireland team and it was an incredible experience.
If Andy Farrell, the coach of Ireland, calls him, the former Bristol Bears center (in England, he had previously played for Rouen and Tarbes in ProD2 but never in the Top 14) will respond favorably “without hesitation”. This puts an end to the speculation of a selection with the XV of France, despite a summons to the group of 42 last season by Fabien Galthié. Summons that Antoine Frisch had not honored.
Given the Frenchman’s current performance with Munster – he has just had eleven starts and the manager of the Irish province, Graham Rowntree, is full of praise for him… -, the possibility of seeing him retained by Ireland for the 2023 World Cup cannot be ruled out. Just as it seems excluded that he will leave Munster next summer despite the interest shown recently by Toulon or Lyon to recruit him.
