Estebanez setting his sights on World Cup glory

HAVING quit rugby union for rugby league and then come back again, France centre Fabrice Estebanez has finally made up his mind what he wants to do: shine at the World Cup.

The odds on the 29-year-old playing on the world’s biggest stage would have been long when his return to union went wrong. In 2007, his team, Gaillac, folded for financial irregularities after promotion to the top flight.

“I knew full well that setting myself a goal four years ago that I had to work hard,” Estebanez said.
