The French XV faces Namibia this Thursday evening in Marseille for the third match of the World Cup. After beating New Zealand (27-13) and Uruguay (27-12), the French XV will once again aim for victory, with a little more play and consistency we hope. Before this meeting, Fabien Galthié and Antoine Dupont answer questions from journalists.

Galthié: “His performances are all very good, he deserves to wear the jersey again, he is a player who came to get the jersey. Louis responds to each outing.”
