Rugby World Cup: French player denies accusations of racism

Description

Just days before the Rugby World Cup kicks off, French player, Bastien Chalureau, has insisted he is not racist amid an outcry over his call-up to the French squad. The Montpellier player was sentenced in 2020 for a racially motivated attack on two other rugby players but appealed the decision. FRANCE 24's Laurent Berstecher has the story.
