Galthie: Perfect prep for Ireland

FRANCE head coach Fabien Galthie believes the emphatic win in Rome will leave his side full of confidence when they go head to head with Ireland at the Aviva next weekend. “We scored seven tries, we were efficient,” Galthie said. “Now we’re going to have a good week to prepare for the game against Ireland. It’s good that we were able to bring on all of our finishers. “We have a good dynamic and we continue to build it it. Now we’re going to Marcoussis and it’s a good transition for Dublin.” Galthie dedicated victory over the Azzurri to the fans. “We have the feeling of having prepared well. It’s always special to prepare for a match under these conditions,” he said. “We will continue to play for those who cannot do it at the moment and the children at home. Thanks to all these supporters, we are trying to do beautiful things and bring them joy. “It was our tenth game together as a group, an important game for us away from home.”
