The mines remained somewhat closed despite the victory. Friday, April 22, the XV of France certainly won its fourth success in as many matches in the Six Nations Tournament by dominating (33-5) Wales, but it did not manage to completely master its subject.
The essential is nevertheless safe. Undefeated, the Habs offer themselves the desired final shock against England, the world’s first nation, next Saturday. In Bayonne, they will try to get this Grand Slam which has eluded them since 2018.
Frustrated by a successful start to the tournament in terms of accounts, but rough in content, the Blues hoped to finally deploy a consistent game over 80 minutes. They held out until the hour mark before falling back into their trap.
Balls carried, solidity in the scrum, after-contact passes in the heart of the defense, a successful try after a pass on foot (Boujard, 19th), school relaunch from Chloé Jacquet well helped by Sansus to increase the score (29th, 24-0) or even a trickster test after a scrum: the Tricolores showed off their palette and secured the offensive bonus before halftime.
Then, weighed down by clumsiness, Jessy Trémoulière’s teammates once again lost track of a match marked by a few scuffles.
“There is still frustration, but now we have to switch to England. They are the best nation in the world, if we want to get something, we will have to show a better face and we know it”warned the captain of the Blue, Gaëlle Hermet at the end of the meeting.
