Almost 2 years old, Nina, the daughter of French hooker Agathe Sochat, is without a doubt the youngest French woman to be summoned to Marcoussis.
For the first time, the FFR has accepted that a player can come with her child to a French team gathering.
Before challenging Ireland in the opening of the Six Nations, the Blues were able to train under the eyes of a new fan.
Supposed to be away from her home for 6 weeks, the Stade Bordelais player asked the French Rugby Federation if her daughter could come to Marcoussis and for the first time, the body authorized this type of visit.
“I’m glad to have had a hearing on this. I was suggested that she come to the CNR for three days. Aside from training, it's really a pleasure to have him here with me. This makes the 6 weeks a little shorter”
declared the Bordeaux hooker.
Even if during certain sessions, the young girl cannot stay with her mother, they meet again during recovery times, which is an even better way to recharge their batteries.
“We have OFF times, I take advantage of those times. Even if it's only 20 minutes, it's sometimes very refreshing. We will take stock afterwards, perhaps there will be small adjustments. We are groping. But from a personal well-being point of view and for the group, it's a breath of fresh air. I am delighted,”
she declared at a press conference.
