Thierry Henry supports the French rugby team ahead of match against Ireland
French football legend Thierry Henry came to support his country's rugby team before their Six Nations Cup match against Ireland. Photos of the footballer attending the event were published on the French Rugby Federation's Instagram page.
Henry met with the French team players during their training camp and delivered a motivating speech to inspire the team to victory. Afterward, he posed for photos with the rugby players and interacted with them. He was also presented with a France jersey signed by the players at the event.
It is noted that this match, taking place in Dublin, could be decisive in the battle for the championship title. That's why the support of a legend like Henry will undoubtedly be beneficial for the French rugby team ahead of the clash.
Especially when recalling that Henry has a history of causing problems for Irish teams. It was due to Thierry's infamous handball that the Irish national team lost to the French in the qualifiers and failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
