France Rugby Trains at CrossFit Torian Ahead of Brisbane Victory

CrossFit Torian welcomed some of the world’s best rugby players this week, with the French national rugby union team using our Brisbane facility as part of their preparation to face the Wallabies.

Les Bleus completed a series of training sessions at Torian ahead of Saturday night’s Test at Suncorp Stadium, bringing the power, speed and professionalism of international rugby into the gym.

It was an incredible opportunity for our team and community to see elite athletes preparing at the highest level. From strength and conditioning to recovery and final match preparation, every part of the session was completed with the focus and intent expected from one of world rugby’s leading nations.

From TORIAN to Suncorp Stadium

France carried that preparation into Saturday evening’s Test, overcoming a strong opening half from the Wallabies to secure an impressive 42–26 victory.

After trailing at halftime, France transformed the match with a dominant second-half performance, using their speed, physicality and attacking skill to take control of the contest.

The result was another reminder of the composure, depth and resilience that have established France as one of the leading teams in international rugby. A Familiar Home for International Rugby

This wasn’t the first time we’ve had the privilege of welcoming the French national team to CrossFit Torian.

Having hosted Les Bleus previously, it was fantastic to welcome the players and staff back to Brisbane and once again support their preparation for international competition.

CrossFit Torian has also previously hosted the All Blacks, further establishing the facility as a trusted Brisbane training destination for some of the biggest names in world rugby.

Welcoming teams of this calibre into the gym is always special. It gives our members and coaches a firsthand look at how elite athletes prepare and reflects the performance-focused environment we continue to build at Torian.
