France captain Thierry Dusautoir has rubbished reports there has been a split between coach Philippe Saint-Andre and his players just days before the World Cup quarter-final against defending champions New Zealand.
"Since the start of the World Cup, the players and staff have been together and they will work together until the end of the World Cup," Dusautoir insisted on Friday.
The 33-year-old skipper said he had "total confidence" in Saint-Andre, a former France captain who will step down after the World Cup.
French newspaper Le Nouvel Observateur published an article on Thursday citing a "source close to the players" who said there had been a players' uprising against Saint-Andre.
"I don't know where that's come from, but you need to ask the person who wrote the article to tell us more," said Dusautoir.
