we have diversity. we can have training or matches where the stars that we have it's really a great atmosphere. more than 200 players from massey, such as cameron woki mathieu bastareaud won more than 50 caps. bastareaud stretches and scores!

but when he played for the barbarians, it wasn't the socks ..the first black people i saw with a french jersey. just maybe the fact to see me, i can play for the french team, and i'm not from toulouse, toulon or perpignan, i think helped change conceptions of how the country could be represented — taking the sport beyond its traditional heartlands in the south.
