Facing them, there is only one star left. The one they have coveted since the beginning of their common adventure, a little over three years ago. The one that underpins all their businesses. The one that illuminates their deepest dreams. The Blues have barely turned the page of a Tournament concluded on a good note against Wales (41-28), Saturday at the Stade de France, that all eyes are projected towards this same setting of Saint-Denis where they will face the All Blacks at the opening of the World Cup on September 8. Where they will, if all goes well, lift the much-desired William Webb Ellis Trophy on October 28. A trophy that has eluded them since the creation, in 1987, of an event in which they have always been outsiders but in which they have become accustomed to reaching the final every twelve years (1987, 1999, 2011).
