Meeting with the Sansos family in Totten

We went to meet his family in Totten. Some are even preparing to leave to cheer him on in New Zealand. A trip to Hell is organized by Sandrine, Laure’s aunt. They are nine in total Including mother Martin and her brother Thomas. Elise, Laure’s grandmother, will not make the trip. But she will closely follow her little daughter’s adventures from her home in Totton.

“I’d go there too, but not because they’re a bunch of guys. I’d rather stay home quiet. I had Laure last Monday. She spoke to me. I’ll follow her closely, every game. I’m not going to sleep much I think. Yeah I’m thinking about Waking up, not even going to bed. We’ll party anyway. And then, I think of my husband who died. He’d be proud. He’s definitely the one pushing it. He was at the Bastide Club, too. And there you go, it goes on.”

For others, a journey to the other side of the world looms. 20,000 km from Toulouse. Laure’s mother first moved in with Martine. Much affection for the whole family who has followed Laure almost everywhere for years, especially her aunt. “It’s our last trip. But hey, we’re glad to go. Even Grandma is very attached, so we’ll let her follow what we’re going to experience from a distance.”

Laura is the pride of the whole family

Because Lore is the pride of the Sansos family. Only Margo’s default, her young cousin. And it was with Les Bleues that half of the Stade Toulousain team decided ends his career On the 28th in New Zealand, in the land of rugby. So she clung on, remembering her mother. “She has sore knees. But she put it off for a year because she really wanted to finish the World Cup.”

Present at his mother’s side, his brother Thomas, who exchanged first balls with the blues star, and who also plays rugby at a good level, wants his little sister to finish his career in style. ‘Bring the World Cup back here’ In France and in Lauragais where the rest of the family assures it: they will also pay for the Bleues and the party, though the travel is late.
