Offaly madness takes control of Saint-Denis! – Seine Saint-Denis

Some are already ready to line up against the New Zealand Haka… Seine-Saint-Denis is ready to experience the Rugby World Cup in France, 10 of which will be played at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis. .

Several solutions to watch the matches: in the fans’ area, in the fetal position, to pray to Saint Antoine Dupont for the restless, or the most fortunate, directly in the stadium.

As for the fan zones, spectators are waiting for 5 giant screens in Livry Gargan, in the Club Thierry de France Tremblay, Noisy-le-Grand, Sand Fabrice de Pantin and in the village of Rugby, in the Basilica Square. Saint-Denis. It will be open every match day, between 3 and 7 pm, with shows and concerts on Thursdays and Saturdays (including Vegedream on September 9 and Joy Star on September 15). Big Village Theater will be taking on a very Irish twist (and they’re not in our set) with the Gardiner Brothers and Faye O’Rourke (September 23rd and October 7th).

In particular, in order to allow young people in its province not to miss the event, the ministry distributed 1,300 tickets to rugby schools and university students in the sports departments in its province. So the sports department of the College Pierre Simard in Bobigny and the department of the College Jean-Jaurès in Pantin are among the lucky ones who will go to see Australia-Georgia on Saturday September 9 at the Stade de France (photo in Stade de France). Moulin-Neuf d’ Aulnay during a UNSS school sports tournament in September 2022).

With 3,500 licenses and 19 clubs, Seine-Saint-Denis is tipping its nose into the French rugby scene. “Among the boys, we still have competition from football, but among the girls, the practice has already become more intense.”Alexandre Gau, Head of the Sports Department at Pierre Simard and former coach of the Louves of AC Bobigny, testified.

And it is no coincidence that the list of the 33 Blues includes two players who trained in 93: midfield Cameron Walkie, who trained in Bobigny 93, and midfielder Jonathan Dante, who started at Stade Raoul Montbrand in Pantene under the colors of ASPTT Paris (the latter). Unfortunately, I lost the France-New Zealand match due to injury.)

The result amounts to four elements if we add reserves Demba Bamba and Yoann Tanga, who are training respectively at Saint-Denis Union Sport and Tremblay-Tree de France.

For all of these players and for France, the Seine-Saint-Denis is about to shake powerfully from September 8th.
