Figo and these Englishmen “dream of us falling”

Gale Ficco? He was for a long time the blessed child of our little world, the heir apparent to the greatest French invaders, a space swallower, a pure endeavor. For two years, for the benefit of a global project, he pushed his person to the top of the pyramid: he pierces less, but slaps more, shines less, but passes more, and works in groups.

In this regard, we swear that the boys of Ross’s coach, Eddie Jones, are planning to provoke this young team in France a bit and make him lose his nerves: “They have some guys who like the internet, Gail Figo told us one day about this. But at home, there are some who know how to answer them. […] When we defeated them in 2020, we were happily screaming at their target after every attempt and the British hated us. They should have thought we were showing too much. ⁇
