Tell us about your week in Marcoussis.
12 non-registered girls have been called to the Marcoussis Internship, they are girls who are spotted throughout the season in specific positions, the staff is preparing for the World Cup...
We went up for a week, it was very intense, about four training sessions a day with at least one physics session.
Did you meet other Amazons, Alexandra and Salome?
All the girls from the Pôle France were in Marcoussis that week. The girls in the XV convention just had medical and physical tests so it allowed us to be with them on some opposition, some training. We shared at least one training session a day with the girls from the Pole.
What are your objectives for this season?
What is good about the internship is that the Marcoussis staff has given us areas of work, it is a plus in the sense that I will be able to "perform" myself, if I can rise individually it will bring benefits to the collective. First of all, it means improving myself to be able to contribute to my team. And for the rest, what will have to happen will happen.
Tell us a few words about this weekend's game.
FCG - Montpellier, 15.09, 15h30, stade Lesdiguières
It's true that we could have hoped for a better first game, knowing that Montpellier is the biggest team in the group... So it's a good start, it's going to hit hard right away. For the girls who have just arrived, they will be able to see immediately what the high level is and even that it will hit, that the game goes fast and that it will quickly be necessary to find landmarks.
