Wesley Fofana, a talented rugby player with Malian and French heritage, expressed his happiness at being part of the starting XV for the XV of France. However, he shared a hint of disappointment as he would have preferred to play in the center rather than on the wing against Australia.
Despite the preference for the center position, Fofana appreciated the confidence placed in him by the coaching staff and expressed his eagerness for the upcoming match. He acknowledged that playing on the wing restricts his playing possibilities compared to the center, but he is determined to give his best in either position.
Fofana mentioned that he hasn’t played on the wing for a long time at the club level and will need to find his landmarks in the new position. The decision to play him on the wing was prepared during the preparatory course, and Fofana has been working on the position with the back lines coach, Patrice Lagisquet.
Reflecting on the team’s previous match, Fofana sought advice from those who played and watched it, aiming to understand what went wrong and avoid repeating mistakes in the upcoming game against Australia. Despite the limited preparation time compared to the Australian team, Fofana remains focused on the challenge ahead.
