In an initiative of its President, Serge Blanco, the French National League of Rugby Union will be associated with Paris 2012 and thus provide its complete support.  Therefore the League dedicates, the 17th and 18th of December, the 15th day of the TOP 16 competition to be played under the banner of Paris 2012.

The French National League's wish to share their common sporting values is integrated in the spirit of the Paris 2012 Bid Committee.  This support marks a new stage in the national mobilisation around the Candidature.  It represents another occasion to show "L'Amour des Jeux" throughout the country and demonstrate the nation's tremendous capacity to support the Paris 2012 objective.
