The coach of the XV of France Fabien Galthié confirmed the new members of his staff, made up of Patrick Arlettaz, Laurent Sempéré and Nicolas Jeanjean, during a press conference organized Friday at the Pic Saint-Loup rugby club (Hérault). “When it was necessary to replace the starters, I took those who seemed to me to be the best, each with their own style, with different experiences,” explained Fabien Galthié.
Patrick Arlettaz, 51, trained in Perpignan for several seasons (from 2012 to 2023), serving as manager there for the last four years. He will take charge of the attack of the XV of France. Coming from Stade Français, where he took care of the forwards since the end of his career in 2019, Laurent Sempéré, 38, will take charge of the conquest of the Blues. Both replace respectively Karim Ghezal and Laurent Labit, who left for Stade français. Nicolas Jeanjean, 42, was already a member of the staff of the XV of France and replaces as performance director Thibault Giroud, now at Bordeaux-Bègles.
Lafond to Dupont: “Antoine, for rugby sevens, go all out!”
Expansion of functions confirmed for Ibañez
“The French championship is very educational for coaches, it often forces coaches to surpass themselves. They will bring us their skills and know-how,” continued Galthié. This new staff will be put to the test from the opening of the Six Nations Tournament once morest Ireland on February 2 in Marseille.
During this press point, the coach also confirmed the expansion of Raphaël Ibañez’s functions. The general manager of the French XV will also have “an important job to do to represent the French team to World Rugby” as well as a role “with other French teams”, underlined Galthié.

The Federation has denied the information according to which four players from the French XV might join “France 7” to compete in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
It’s not a secret. Antoine Dupont, scrum half and captain of the French XV, has repeatedly repeated his desire to participate in the Paris Olympic Games with the French 7s team. Which should happen. According to the information of Olympic Midday three other internationals from the French XV should accompany him.
Indeed, the third line (or winger) of Stade Français Paris, Sekou Macalou, and the three-quarter center of Montpellier, Arthur Vincent, should also be part of the Olympic adventure. One last case remains unresolved, that of Damian Penaud (UBB) who reserves his response.
In the event of withdrawal, he might be replaced by his teammate in Bordeaux, winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who shone during the last World Cup. Information that the French Rugby Federation insisted on denying, a little later on Sunday evening.

The coach of the French XV Fabien Galthié will speak to the press on Wednesday, for the first time since the elimination of the Blues in the quarter-final of the World Cup, the French Rugby Federation announced on Monday November 6.
Fabien Galthié, still considered Monday morning as “the man for the job” by opener Romain Ntamack, will take stock of the French World Cup journey, stopped prematurely in the quarterfinals once morest South Africa (29- 28) on October 15, while the Blues were aiming for final victory in their country.
Highly anticipated and initially planned for the end of November, the conference of Fabien Galthié, who has remained silent since the elimination, will finally take place on Wednesday in order to “satisfy” the requests of the press to discuss with the coach, announced the FFR.
“There is no debate” on the future of the coach
Monday morning, opener Romain Ntamack, absent from the World Cup due to a rupture of the cruciate ligament in his left knee which occurred during preparation in August, gave his support to Galthié and considered that “there is no debate” on the future of the coach.
“I think that with everything he has brought to this team over the past four years, even this elimination in no way calls into question all the work that has been done” since the arrival of the former scrum-half at the head of the Blues in 2019, explained Ntamack at the microphone of RTL. “He is the man for the job and there is obviously no debate on that,” he added.

Invited on RTL on the occasion of the release of his autobiography “Rugby in the blood”, the Toulouse player also spoke of his desire to one day play in a club in Australia or New Zealand.
“It’s not necessarily relevant right away,” replied Romain Ntamack. “But it’s true that the southern hemisphere has always attracted me. Since I was little, I’ve always watched Super Rugby,” competition flagship between Australian and New Zealand clubs.
