The cluster survey
Guest this Friday of the "Super Moscato Show" on
RMC
¸ Bernard Laporte, the president of the French Rugby Federation, returned to the postponement of the France-Scotland match due to numerous positive tests for coronavirus in the French ranks (17 cases in all) and the consequences of this affair.
“The virus has entered this bubble, it shows that it is not waterproof.
I saw that the President of the Republic was contaminated, Donald Trump too… Nothing is infallible.
I asked for an investigation and a report from the secretary general who will rely on the medical commission.
I want to be told what exactly happened.
I'm waiting for the report.
There is a 99.9% chance that the virus unfortunately entered via a 7-a-side player who was negative but there are periods of incubation and it would have turned positive.
The Fed would have learned about it once in Ireland. "
"I want to know exactly what happened"

The defense of Fabien Galthié
The president of the FFR also defended his coach Fabien Galthié, suspected of being at the origin of the cluster for having broken the health bubble.
“There was never any question of Fabien Galthié leaving.
I don't know if he came out or not.
Did he break the rules?
On what I'm told, no.
The report will tell.
I asked him the question, he said no to me and I trust him.
What does "get out of the bubble" mean?
I have been to Italy for example.
The players went out for a walk in the street, but that doesn't mean they broke the bubble.
Fabien told me that he had respected the protocol.
The final report will tell me who failed and who did not.
For me there is no fault.
Will there be a sanction in the event of a fault?
If the report says that people have failed, it will take sanctions, that's obvious.
I ask for a report to find out everything.
Fabien tells me that he did not break the rules, I believe so. ”
"The staff and the players are very united."

The Laporte-Di Meco altercation
During this live broadcast, Bernard Laporte had a heated argument with Eric Di Meco, the former footballer turned consultant of RMC, who left the set after being sharply cropped by the president of the FFR.
"First you shut up, Eric!"
I'm done talking! ”Laporte told him.
Immediate reaction from the former OM footballer: "Well then, I'm going, I'll leave you ..." To which the president of the FFR responds: "Take care of OM, occupy the France team! "
Eric Di Meco, who was not present on the set of the show but in video, then left the Moscato Show.
Many Internet users have criticized, on Twitter, the attitude of Bernard Laporte and the complacency in front of this incident of Vincent Moscato and Denis Charvet, close friends of the former coach of the XV of France.
Listen again on the show's podcast (from 3:20).
You know I like you the @Moscato_Show.
But what happened today is unacceptable.
That Eric gets cropped like a kid and that behind it makes Denis and Vincent laugh, it's lousy #rmclive

Bravo Eric for his intervention, the others you are pathetic.

One of my favorite @Moscato_Show consultants was asked to shut up in a very contemptuous way by a guest who claims to be a friend of the show.
Beyond the shabby side of these words, it was the total lack of reaction from others that shocked me.
Not my SMS that ... #rmclive
