The French Rugby Wolrd Cup squad training and interviews with Dimitri Yachvili, Thierry Dussautor and Marc Lievremont. Dimitri Yachvili saying: "It's the most beautiful competition in our sport, it's a great honour, a great satisfaction to participate and, above all, we play it to win it." Thierry Dussautor saying: "Of course we think about it, of course. But you can't go too quickly. It will be essential during the competition to first of all think about the game against Japan, then Canada and so on. You can't already think about the final as there are steps to follow." Marc Lievremont saying: "It's been 24 years; there have been quite a few editions already. Players and coaches have been nursed by this rhythm, every four years, a competition which is now well installed in the world of Rugby. I remember very clearly the first world cup in 1987 and, although I've already experienced it as a player, it's today a particular excitement. But today, as Thierry was saying, we're not ready to play the final. Work stills needs to be done. So yes, some see themselves at the top already, some dream about lifting the trophy but there are things to go through until then."
