While his game plan seemed to give a pleasant face to a France team not very shimmering in recent years, Fabien Galthié is said to be ruining the atmosphere of the group.
L'Equipe
revealed this Wednesday that the coach of the XV of France would cause a lot of annoyance from his players and staff.
According to the daily it would be the fact that it was Galthié himself who would have pierced the health bubble, without really assuming the consequences, which would irritate internally.
The coach would have broken the health protocol during the preparation week of Ireland-France.
Galthié defends himself by declaring to
L'Equipe
that all his "actions are in accordance with sanitary protocol."
It is also the designation of the physical trainer as patient zero by Serge Simon, vice-president of the French Rugby Federation, which would have heated the spirits of the players and the management.
The Blues, deprived of eight holders, must face Scotland at the Stade de France next Sunday for the third day of the Six Nations Tournament.
