Transcription of the first minutes:
– It’s a year for sale, it’s a simple year to sell, point.
– Sud Radio, rugby radio.
– Millions, you are charming.
– Do you see what is it already? A million, Armina.
– Where’s money? Where is money? In fact, I come to withdraw money.
– Armie, open your hearts.
– Don’t be afraid of it, money does not make happiness.
– Shut up and take my money.
– This is a thorny subject.
– Can we professionalize French women’s rugby? Should we professionalize it too? It is true that we are generally Friday in a match context where everything is going very quickly.
– Tonight, we take the time to ask background questions of French rugby.
– And it must be said, the Blues have shown that they could compete with professional English during the destination tournament with an exceptional match in Twickenham in front of more than 40,000 people.
– The World Cup is coming.
– The Question is pose, Félix Panguero.
– How to structure French women’s rugby to support its performance and grow this sport in the feminine? This is the global question.
– The first question that I must ask you and that it is necessary to have in context element is what is the state of the professionalization of French women’s female rugby, players of the France team today? We are very far from professionalization.
– You have to be very careful when we talk about professionalization because the English championship is officially semi-professional since there are players.
– There are professional players, but they are in the minority.
– There is a lot more reactive.
– So, the real question that must be asked, is that today and in the coming years, can women rugby find an economy to be professional? I don’t believe it.
– I think you have to stay reasonable and first give players to be more reactive, but with time jobs that really allow them to be remunerated for the time they devote to rugby.
– It already seems to me by short, medium term.
– This is an ambition that you have to have because you have to go get what the English do and they work since they have been on the roof of the world for a long time now.
– So how do you do it? It is still very multifactorial.
– So it is not easy to answer this question easily.
– We can make an observation already.
– We can make the observation that French women’s rugby, on the scale of what concerns us, has trouble bringing in its club economy the craze that can be known for the national team.
– You have full stages today.
– You have audiences that are still exceptional since the audiences for the last destination shoot have fallen.
– And so, it’s 1.6 million viewers on average for the first games of the tournament.
– It’s much more than football, for example.
– Yes, it’s much more than football.
– More than 2 million for the final.
– So, today, when you have a sport on paper that is able to do 2 million viewers and which is capable of gathering on average nearly 20,000 people in stadiums with paid tickets, of course, you tell yourself that there is an economy to at least semi-professionalize, or even professionalize.
– The real problem is that this craze, we cannot currently transcribe it in the club economy.
– That’s a real subject.
– Philippe, how to explain it? Because on the one hand, there is the rugby broadcaster of the France team, from the 15th of France, France Télévisions, which, in my opinion, is a huge work, enormous, in terms of broadcasting, in terms of reporting.
– Really, work.
– It is superb from France Télévisions.
– There are a lot of media that have a love of rugby, which is also doing the job, including Sud Radio, and I have no problem saying it.
– There are the players who will seek performances.
– There is Canal+, which broadcasts championship matches.
– So, what is missing for runoff to work, Philippe? The mesh is missing, for me, in part.
