It’s very important.”, Says Pablo Lemoine Head coach Chile rugby team tonight (21.00) France face Canada in the first round of qualifying for the 2023 World Cup in Longford. To deal with this key, the national team will be very close to that dream.

The task is complex, but there is full confidence that the Chilean team will be able to achieve a planetary assignment for the first time. “We firmly believe that we are going to do that.”Says Captain Martin Sigren. “The mental part of these games is half of what happens on the field. There are not so many differences physically and technically. It is important to know how to play in the World Cup, How we view this, decision making is going to define the game. This may be a historic achievement. And if we want to achieve that, then this is the way to go. ” “After going this way, you come in with the hope that this is what prepared you.

Both teams have come a long way. Their product is better than ours because they have more games, many games in MRL, played in European leagues, and they are used for these events, but Chile has grown a lot“, He says.

The role of surprise is important. “, Reveals. And he says: “In this first game you have to defend three-quarters well and with confidence Back Stay tuned with them. On Forward We are stronger than ever Scrum, Even “.

Former selector Pablo Demaria points to the team’s wealth. “Before we had three first lines, now there are six. The team stumbled before it could play well for 60 minutes and now it can function well for 80 minutes.”, He maintains.

In the same way, the background work stands out. “Chile’s security has grown a lot, which has allowed us to build from there. It costs to do them Trying That too is very good. I believe the party is limited to anyone by a narrow margin. “, Sentence.
