TOP 14. In Toulouse, Montpellier… The new ”French Connection” of French clubs
Let’s put our feet in the plate right away: don’t be afraid and don’t set fire to the powder, this article does not mention one of the biggest international trafficking networks that France has ever known. No, this one concentrated rather on the famous “connections” than seeking more and more to recreate the staffs of Top 14 in a club. To facilitate automation, to bring binder and above all to reconstitute what was already working elsewhere, or in the past. Clearly, bring together players who know each other well, in key positions. “We wanted to recreate these strong connections between the players for the group again”, launched Philippe St-André to the Midi Olympique about the recruitment of the MHR. Who was the strong man of the Cistes talking about? In this case of the triplet Coly – Carbonel – Vincent, which will come to give a new axis 9 – 10 – 12 strong in Montpellier. But also common benchmarks and a common rugby language, with boys who know each other very well, since U20 world champions together in 2019, for example.
