The elimination of the French XV in the quarter-finals of the World Cup last Sunday at the expense of South Africa did not only make people unhappy.
The Blues have fallen from a height. In search of a first World Cup title, the French XV failed once again at the quarter-final stage. Fabien Galthié’s men lost 28-29 against South Africa last Sunday at the Stade de France. A terrible disillusionment for this golden generation.
On the other hand, Sofiane Guitoune sees positives in the elimination of the Blues. Teammate of Antoine Dupont and Thomas Ramos on the Toulouse side, the one who announced his retirement at the end of the season hopes that the two friends will have ” the slab “ to win a title with their club at the end of the season.
“The good thing is that you didn’t win anything…”
“I often say it to the guys, I said it to Thomas Ramos this week, I had Antoine Dupont on the phone yesterday, and I told them: “the good thing is that you haven’t won anything suddenly you will have the slab to win a shield of Brennus”, by chambering them a little”confided Guitoune for Eurosport.
“Ramos and Dupont are going to have a hard time, and hang up on a European Cup or a Brennus, I’m not saying no…”: @SoGuitoune sees (still) something positive in the elimination of the Blues 😁 pic.twitter.com/QAiOV6xVvX

And to add: “I think the club was a little apprehensive about this World Cup and knowing how the guys were going to return. (…) Now we will mentally see how they will be. They’re going to have a little vacation and we’ll see. In any case, leaving with a European Cup or a Brennus shield, I won’t say no. »
