The XV of France has so far achieved a 2013 tournament pretty bad. It remains on three consecutive defeats.

For Thierry Dusautoir, it is time that the group acts together. The Franco-Ivorian Captain recalled his “desire to win at any cost” in Ireland next Saturday in the Six Nations.
“This group is different from the one that played the last World Cup. It is undergoing its first blow, it is something relatively new. This group is to make the leather in these difficult times. It should show that it has the resources to respond and it has character. There are a lot of young players who had experienced the good side of the international level. With the victories and accolades, things are easier to live. Today, it is the opposite. These are the two extremes that can be known at this level. Knowing them is not the most serious. The important thing is to know how to regain. they are trying to make the experience. The characteralso. ‘

“In the first game, without detracting from the performance of the Italians, we missed the second (against Wales, ed) is an arm of iron you lose in the 72nd minute and the third (against England, ed), we lost the thread in the second half. In each game, there is an explanation. It will have to start to erase it all and make the perfect match because this is what the high level demands to win. ‘

 

“There is a pride to show that we are a team of good rugby players. In the end, we must win. The team of France has often been criticized because it won ugly, but it won. We realize that victory, whatever the way, is really important. Today, we really wanted to win, whatever the cost. ‘

in Ireland Saturday, Thierry Dusautoir (31 years, 57 caps) equals the number of capitanats (34) of Philippe Saint-André at the head the XV de France.
