France has never been so armed at the start of a World Cup. Here, in any case, is the thought of 82% of rugby enthusiasts, interviewed by Odoxa during a survey for Winamax and RTL. It must be said that the popularity of the XV of France is well established. 97% of rugby fans questioned and 89% of French people have a good opinion of the tricolor selection.
At the helm of the team since January 2020, Fabien Galthié is esteemed by the public in France. 91% of French people consider him a very good coach. Under his wing, the Blues would have improved in almost all areas of the game. 93% of rugby fans consider that they are developing a good attacking game (compared to 57% in 2019), 88% that they are solid defensively (55% in 2019), while the level of individuality is even more appreciated (91% against 82%).
If the image returned by the Blues is almost unanimous, the package of Romain Ntamack, due to a left knee injury, arouses more debate. Observers are divided: 54% of oval fans consider that his injury is not so disabling, while 44% say that on the contrary, the opening half is irreplaceable.
Absent, the Toulousain therefore does not appear in the list of favorite players of the French. Ranking dominated unsurprisingly by Antoine Dupont. Among all respondents, the scrum half (33%) is ahead of Thomas Ramos (7%) and Matthieu Jalibert (6%). For rugby fans, Ramos (8%) is still Dupont’s dolphin (52%), but Damian Penaud (7%) completes the podium.
