” I know myself. At first I didn’t want to watch rugby, but it’s been two weekends where I watch all the matches on my sofa. At the microphone of Canal +, Romain Ntamack returned with hindsight to the injury which will prevent him from participating in his second World Cup. The opener broke the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee against Scotland in mid-August. He will therefore follow the World Cup “in full”, after his operation, which he should undergo next Thursday.
“I can’t wait for the operation to start my own World Cup: get back on the pitch as quickly as possible. I see the surgeon on Tuesday before the operation, he specified. We will determine my program at that time. It will be quite classic I think, a fairly banal rehabilitation, we will see a few weeks after the operation how the knee reacts and we will advise. I hope to be back as soon as possible without going too fast to hope for the least possible relapse. »

For two weeks, the Toulousain has been revitalized with his loved ones. The love received from “the four corners of the globe” touched him a lot and he wants to extract something positive from this package. “I will take advantage of this injury to rest physically and mentally. I haven’t cut for a very long time, it will allow me to come back as fresh as possible. I needed it. I’m taking this injury as best I can. I hope that my Stade Toulousain teammates will have a good season, I will support them as much as possible, and also the friends of the France team. I hope to be able to attend a final with France on October 28 at the Stade de France. »
This Sunday evening, he will support his club – and his little brother Theo -, opposed to Montpellier. Even if watching rugby remains complicated and disappointment is in his voice. “I try to take a step back so as not to feel sorry for myself. It’s only a knee, it’s not very serious, even if it makes me miss my World Cup. I will give myself the means to 200% to live the next one or the one after. »
