"Ready to set foot in this championship"

  • Burton Francis

Burton Francis will play tomorrow his first game in "Rouge & Bleu" on the field of Stade Lesdiguières

You did not play the first two preparation games. Can you tell us why?

"I got injured two days after the I came here in Grenoble. I do not know why. But we worked well with the S&C staff, after spending three weeks with the medical staff. I worked hard in the room, it made me good friends, working hard. But I'm glad to be back with the boys. I missed the first two games, these are things that happen. But there is still a game before the season begins. I am glad to play it and look forward to tomorrow. I have assimilated everything: new calls, new players, all new names, although sometimes I put the old calls in place of the new ones. But I'll be OK before the start of the season. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. "

You allowed Agen to leave the Pro D2 a few months ago. What do you think is necessary to reissue this with the FCG?

"Most players come from the Top 14, they also have a lot of experience. The Pro D2 is hard. I think our fundamentals are good. We are ready to set foot in this championship. "

Personally, how do you live your first weeks in Isère?

" Everything is fine ! My set up is going well, everyone is very professional, everyone is nice. It is another culture, a different challenge. I can not wait to play, it's exciting. "
