On Saturday May 23, 2026, the Stade Atlantique in Bordeaux M\u00e9tropole will host the first edition of \u201cCrunch Creator\u201d, an event where Internet personalities, English and French, will compete in a match that promises to be electric.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-media\">\n<p><iframe title=\"Tournoi des VI Nations : pourquoi appelle-t-on \u00abcrunch\u00bb les matches entre la France et l'Angleterre \" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimedia.com\/deliver\/generic\/iframe\/mdtk\/01357940\/zone\/1\/src\/xxskl83\/showtitle\/1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>From 9 p.m., live on Twitch, a French team made up of creators, former professionals and rugby legends will face an English selection in a new format. In total, 32 creators and eight former international glories, four in each team, are expected on the pitch. \u201cWe&#8217;re trying to pull out all the stops so that it&#8217;s like a Top 14 final,\u201d says Brice Beignon, co-founder of the Ambission influence agency, which is running the event.<\/p>\n<h2>Influencers and former rugby players<\/h2>\n<p>At the origin of the project, Diego Sarthou, alias Djayson Karavane, a rising figure in humor and the rugby scene on the networks. \u201cThe idea was born in 2024, but only came to fruition this year,\u201d explains Brice Beignon. The organizers managed to bring together a team of content creators around Diego Sarthou: Lebouseuh, Ivan B\u00e9d\u00e9, Paul Dena, Nogodi, Rivenzi and \u00c9tienne Mustache. A workforce designed for the show.<\/p>\n<p>For management, former glory Thierry Dusautoir, now a consultant for Canal+, will take the reins of the French selection. He will be supported by C\u00e9dric Heymans and Laurent Ferr\u00e8res.<\/p>\n<p>Opposite, the English will be led by the creator Archie Curzon. \u201cIt wasn&#8217;t easy to put together a team of English designers. We did not necessarily have contact, and there was no particular rivalry with English creators, as was the case with the \u201cEleven All Stars\u201d between French and Spanish streamers,\u201d explains Brice Beignon.<\/p>\n<h2>A format designed for the show<\/h2>\n<p>There is no question here of reproducing a classic match. The \u201cCrunch Creator\u201d adopts simplified rules to maximize the spectacle with 10 players per team on the field, four former professional players in each selection and three twenty-minute halves. A shorter, more rhythmic format, and accessible even to beginners.<\/p>\n<p>The event will not be limited to the kick-off. From 6 p.m., an entertainment village will open its doors to immerse spectators in the atmosphere. The halftimes also promise their share of shows before a finale presented as spectacular.<\/p>\n<h2>\u201cRugby in France is not trivial. \u00bb<\/h2>\n<p>Behind the event, an almost symbolic ambition. Inspired by the historic rivalry between France and England, nicknamed the \u201cCrunch\u201d. In a video posted on Instagram, the creator of the event Diego Sarthou explained his motivations. \u201cRugby in France is not trivial. It is a culture, an identity and above all a mythical rivalry: France &#8211; England \u201cthe Crunch\u201d. Generations of players, tense matches, victories engraved in history and defeats that we have never really forgotten,\u201d explains the influencer followed by 1.1 million people on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Faithful to the atmosphere that accompanies each match between France and England, Diego Sarthou took advantage of the announcement to increase the tension: \u201cThe Crunch Creator has one goal: to put an end to this rivalry\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Some places still on sale<\/h2>\n<p>Participants had 100 days to prepare and be \u201ccombat ready\u201d on May 23. \u201cThey will have had five training sessions in the end, which is not a lot, but some players train in parallel in professional clubs who wanted to participate in the project,\u201d explains Brice Beignon. For his part, Diego Sarthou takes his community behind the scenes of the project. On his YouTube channel, the influencer documents the preparation of the \u201cCrunch Creator\u201d, between training sessions, team cohesion and first automatisms on the field.<\/p>\n<p>All our articles on YouTube<\/p>\n<p>Tickets were priced between 20 and 60 euros, with VIP offers. On the ticket office, there are still a few hundred seats on sale today. Testifying to the enthusiasm surrounding the event, the official Top 14 rugby account provided its support by republishing the match poster on its social networks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Content creators are once again reaching beyond the boundaries of the internet.
