Does Kylian Mbappé know the rules of rugby? Many Internet users have doubted this since the opening match of the 2023 World Cup last night.
Friday evening, several players from the French football team were at the Stade de France to encourage the French XV against the All Blacks, during the opening match of the 2023 World Cup. Antoine Griezmann, Jules Koundé, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Kylian Mbappé, Théo Hernandez and Olivier Giroud witnessed the great victory (27-13) for Fabien Galthié’s men.
On social networks, a video of the Paris Saint-Germain striker quickly created a buzz. After a try scored by the Blues, the native of Bondy did not immediately express his joy. His gaze seems haggard. The Lose Federation, a satirical page which celebrates the French art of losing, obviously did not miss this juicy moment. “Mbappé is a man like you and me, he understands nothing about the rules of rugby”can we read on his X account (formerly Twitter).

Many Internet users think that Kylian Mbappé does not understand the rules of rugby. Many also make the comparison with Antoine Griezmann, present right next to the Parisian number 7, who is much more reactive.
Mbappé knows nothing about Rugby. He waits for the audience to exclaim before doing the same.

At the end of the French victory, certain footballers invited themselves into the rugby players’ locker rooms, in the wake of Kylian Mbappé, seen on TF1 hugging Yoram Moefana and the other players of the French XV.
