I know people who have written for World Rugby, and have even discussed some articles with the game’s governing body, but this – my first, and so far only piece for them – came as something of a surprise.
I owe at least two people a drink for getting the chance to write this piece on France’s young guns ahead of the 2021 Six Nations.
France’s internationals are in Nice this week for a pre-Six Nations training camp ahead of their opening match against Italy in Rome on Saturday 6 February.
