France? No! England until death: Toulouse player Charlie Cresswell, surprised to see Meafou playing with the Blues, specifies his love for the Three Lions.

In a video posted on TFC’s social networks, defender Charlie Creswell seems surprised to see Stade Toulousain rugby player Emmanuel Meafou playing for the French national team. When questioned about this, the Toulouse defender reaffirms his allegiance to the Three Lions.

“God save the King,” English defender Charlie Creswell will defend the Three Lions’ colors. While nothing indicated otherwise, the amusing interaction between the former Leeds player and Stade Toulousain’s Emmanuel Meafou clarifies this.

The Violet defender appears very surprised to discover that the Red and Black’s second row did not play for the Wallabies. Despite growing up in Otahuhu, New Zealand, and receiving most of his training in Australia, Manny now plays for France. After living in France for over five years, he obtained French nationality and now plays for Les Bleus.

Charlie Creswell finds it inconceivable to play for the French national team. His face reveals his eagerness for a call-up to the Three Lions. When Toulouse’s community manager suggests, “You should play for France!” Creswell responds with a serious “No,” affirming his loyalty to his country: “England until death. God save the King, my man!”

Although he has only played with the U23s so far, the raw talent of the Toulouse defender is undeniable, and his path to the England A team seems inevitable. At just 23 years old, his two outstanding seasons at TFC have made him a top target for Premier League giants, solidifying his status as a rising star. Despite fierce competition, his name has been mentioned in the UK for a potential ticket to the next World Cup to be held in North America (June 11 to July 19, 2026).
