French schoolchildren learn the values of rugby

2015-03-19 1 Dailymotion

This weekend France plays its final match of the annual Six Nations rugby tournament against its biggest rival, England. A win would be a huge morale booster for Les Bleus ahead of the World Cup later this year. But the game is also playing a positive role in schools for pupils with disciplinary problems, as well as in troubled neighbourhoods, helping young girls become more self-assertive.
