"It is clear that the XV of France needs to win", warns Galthié

Charles Ollivon is one of the 75 selectable players. But he hopes to resume in February. There is no reason that he should not return to the group, but not in the short term, rather in the medium term. I think the Tournament will be too early for him. We are looking more towards the second part of the international season. There is therefore no reason that Dupont should lose the captaincy.

We are ambitious for the Tournament. And also for the matches that take us to Japan (in July) and for the November tour where we will play South Africa, Australia and a second-third opponent. We hear this injunction "we must win the Tournament". Two years ago, when I took the job, I was told "good luck". There is therefore a change in expectations and this is very positive,

given hope

This match against the All Blacks is one of the big victories.

At the moment, we are in a position to want to win a title and we want, we want to win.

We will give ourselves the means.

We want to continue to progress.

We have made progress at all levels and we still have room for maneuver.

But it is clear that we need to win.

It is clear that the France team must win.
