France's XV – Franco-Irish Joshua Brennan hopes to make the right choice: “I've always been a fan of France”

Published on

The versatile Stade Toulouse forward, who has played for both Ireland and France, has been picked by the Blues. Joshua Brennan, who first called Fabin Galthy to prepare for the fall tour, wants to (show himself) that he made the right choice.

He could find two more modest possibilities. But when deciding which team he would play for, Joshua Brennan had a choice between France and Ireland. Two of the world's top-ranked nations are renowned for their forward play.

At a press conference on Tuesday afternoon at the Marcoses, Stade Toulouse's second/third tier paper spoke about this difficult choice. “I was asked the question when I was young, but I spent my whole life in France, Brennan explained. I came here very young and I made all the youth choices. I couldn't see him wearing the Ireland jersey. I was a fan of Francine when I was younger.“The son of former international Trevor Brennan, who has 1xV du trefle (13 caps), was born in Dublin but brought up in France. He arrived in Toulouse when he was barely 12, which explains his original accent, traveling between Ireland and the South West.

He has played regularly with the Rouge et Noir and was a key factor in last season's double. He reached a new level by calling up Fabian Galthy to prepare for the first match of the fall tour against Japan (November 9, 9:10 pm). “He is coming off a very impressive season, especially making an impact in the games that countedUgo Mola said recently. We are in the logical continuation of its evolution.

“I like to play second row”

As a substitute in the Champions Cup and Top 14 finals last spring, Brennan was gradually tested by the Toulouse staff for a third-line position. He has used very little in his career so far (2 terms between March 2023 and March 2024) and it has worked for him in recent months. “He is a fast player despite his size with power skills“, Toulouse forward coach Jean Boileau testified a few days ago.

The person concerned spent two days with the French team and the latter cannot form an opinion on his ideal position. “I haven't had any discussion with the staff but I think it will be more on the second lineJoshua Brennan believes. There are always areas for improvement and maybe the coaches will talk to me about them.Remarkable mobility and dexterity with the ball in his hands despite his size (1.99m at 118kg)Franco-Irish has his preference. “I like to play the second line” he announced on Tuesday.

Employees are not kept this weekend, Joshua Brennan is one of 19 players available to their club for the weekend's match. “I want to progress every day and bring as much as possible to this French teamHe concluded. I want to show my best.“Joshua Brennan will quietly want to make his big debut in the blue jersey at Marcos, despite not being one of the 23 players called up by Galthy for Japan.
