France coach Fabien Galthié sounds existential when talking about his approach to facing New Zealand in Friday’s Rugby World Cup blockbuster.
“This match will be a party, a joy, an immense happiness, it’s marvellous. An invisible force needs to be born in these moments,” Galthié said. “The watchword is to play, to enjoy ourselves, to love each other a lot. We’re feeling very light, very happy to play this game.”
Those preparations include the warmup before the match. Constraints put on the teams by the World Cup opening ceremony have shortened the usual amount of time they have on the field. Galthié was the Dupont of his 1990s heyday, a brilliant scrumhalf and captain who became a highly rated club coach. He met Dupont a few years ago and was blown away by Dupont scribbling notes and drawing tactics for two hours while they chatted.“We can feel this fervor and excitement rising, but I don’t feel there is any negative pressure in this team and that’s a good thing,” he said. He echoed Galthié's mantra.
