France flyhalf Romain Ntamack has revealed. his desire to play Super Rugby as he backs under pressure coach Fabien Galthie

Ntamack, 24, did not participate in the World Cup due to a ruptured left knee cruciate ligament suffered in August.

Invited on RTL following the release of his autobiography "Le rugby dans le sang" ("Rugby in the blood"), the Toulouse player spoke of his desire to one day play for a club in Australia or New Zealand.

"It's not necessarily relevant right away," said Ntamack.

"But it's true that the southern hemisphere has always attracted me. Since I was little, I've always watched Super Rugby," he added.

The playmaker's presence was missed as France were eliminated in the quarter-finals by eventual champions South Africa.

But despite the disappointing performance, "there is no debate" on Galthie's future, Ntamack told French radio station RTL.

"I think that with everything he has brought to this team over the last four years, even this elimination in no way calls into question all the work that has been done," said Ntamack.

"He's the man for the job and there is obviously no debate about that."

Before the tournament, Galthie signed a fresh extension that will keep him in charge until June 2028.

"He is the right person for the years to come," the FFR's president Florian Grill told AFP after the defeat.

"The result of one night is not going erase four exceptional years."
