Rugby World Cup

A heavy, moist, sticky heat envelops since this morning Fukuoka. A temperature of 32 degrees is also expected at kickoff at 4:45 pm (9:45 am in France). French fans also invoke the sky from which could come showers during the game.

This was notably the case of Panoramix, from a quartet of Parisian fans disguised as Asterix characters with Obelix and Falbala extra. "It's too hot under this beard," laughed Eric "Panoramix", before adding: "I hope the sky will not fall on the head of the XV of France."

Beaujolais in the spotlight

Further, Beaujolais is in the spotlight with Carine, Estelle, Gilles and Fabien, from Alix in the Rhône. "Since 2011 in New Zealand, it takes a month to follow the World Cup and visit the country.We stay until the game of England, here we enjoy," says Fabien, former rugby player of Trévoux in Ain.

A LOU shirt on the horizon

A LOU jersey is on the horizon. It is worn by Julien. He also comes from Beaujolais. De Chambost-Allières more precisely. But it did not happen until Wednesday, the day before the match. Jet lag still has effects. He does not intend to sleep during the match. On the contrary, he is ready to encourage the Blues who will play in conquered countries.

The USA jersey painted on the body

American fans are not legion. From afar, we can see a jersey of the USA. But getting closer, it's not really one … It's Hiroshi Moryama. This Japanese is not a fan of rugby like the others. He decided to paint the flags of the twenty nations participating in the World Cup.

Today, his wife Rika, improvised artist-painter, draws the jersey of the United States on the paunchy body of her husband. On Sunday, against Tonga in Kumamoto, he promised to wear a "blue, white, red" outfit.
