How do you feel after this triumph?
Fabien Galthié:
A lot of joy, pleasure, and also emotions.
It's moving considering the place.
Right now, I have a special thought for Bernard (
Laporte
)…
Were you able to share this victory with him?
It's done… We've done it.
Is this your most successful match since taking office?
Hot, it's hard to answer, it's our 34th game.
We had decided to release THE match today.
For many reasons, we wanted to… But it was impossible to imagine such a result.

What are your main satisfactions?
The tactical choices, the options chosen for this match… It's a great pleasure when we see that it works, that we take the match and that we put them in great difficulty.
It gives a lot of confidence.
The rain could have disturbed us but we managed to adapt.
To regain control of the game.
It's a perfect day at Twickenham.
And it's very rare.
This stage rewards bravery and those who surrender collectively.
What did you think when the Marseillaise took over in the stands?
We feel that we share.
Between us, but also with all the people who support us.
It's a collective feeling of success.
Us with them.
What did you think of the performance of your third row?
I think first of Anthony (
Jelonch
).
He left his body on the line for the team.
I want to dedicate the victory to him.
We all have a very, very strong thought for him.
The third row was very good because he helped build it…

Against England, your physical domination was total…
That's right.
We go up physically from round to round, a little more each time.
In the 4th round, we are better than in the first three.
In the rucks also, there was much better.
Yes, we have improved.
The good thing is that our progression is linear
How important is this success in view of the next World Cup?
We are in competition.
We haven't dropped the trophy yet.
We stumbled but we still want to win it.
In the middle of the Tournament, this is not the time to talk about construction.
There is still a very important match (
next Saturday against Wales, editor's note
).
We will then think about the next competition, the World Cup.
But, of course, all the moments, all the emotions we experience, whether positive or negative, help us to progress.
And you can still mount the sliders at all levels.
