We are starting to learn more about the tribute that will be paid by tricolor rugby to Christophe Dominici, found dead Tuesday at the age of 48.
This Saturday, November 28, at the Stade de France (France 2, 9:05 p.m.), the XV of France faces Italy for the last group match of the Autumn Nations Cup.
On the lawn where, in 1998, Dominici had scored against England the first of his 25 international trials, the Blues will wear, according to the Rugbyrama site, a special jersey with on the left sleeve the mention "Domi", the diminutive of the ex-Parisian player.
A tarpaulin bearing the effigy of the twirling winger should also be deployed in the enclosure of Saint-Denis for this meeting behind closed doors because of the sanitary conditions.
Photos projected in the stadiums
Christophe Dominici wore the Blues jersey 67 times and notably scored a legendary try against the legendary All Blacks of Jonah Lomu in 1999 in the temple of rugby in Twickenham, among our best English enemies, who, that day, had shouted to "French genius".
As for the Top 14 and Pro D2 clubs, they should, according to our information, observe a minute of silence this weekend while images of the missing player will be projected on stadium screens.
