Interview at a press conference at the Stade de France
How do you feel after this incredible victory over Wales?
Fabien Galthié: (He sighs) Hot ... It's limitless happiness.
It's a pool of happiness ... Despite all the obstacles that there were in this part, despite the fate, the team has always believed in its star, in its destiny, in its ability to overthrow the mountain that was there. .
She did not leave the match.
She could have done it several times because it was sometimes difficult to understand everything that was going on.
It's incredible.
Did your players surprise you with their strength of character?
I do not know if the character is measured ... Maybe the result?
To impressions by observing what happened… I don't think I was surprised by the men.
We learn to know each other.
They learn to draw.
They went to draw very, very far from what they had in them… The players believe in themselves, they believe in the team, they also know all the good that the supporters think of them.
They are carried by this incredible popular support.

And the Welsh are specialists in the red card.
He played the scene well… I therefore hope that they will judge that an additional sanction is not necessary.
I do not see when Paul Willemse deserves to be sanctioned in this way ...
News of the wounded.
Romain (Taofifenua) has a small sprained knee and Matthieu (Jalibert) has taken a shock in the face.
We don't want to take risks with the health of the players, so we accepted the medical decisions.
But both players are doing well.
They are currently celebrating the victory in the locker room with their teammates.
A third half, but measured ...
