Six Nations 2024: a memorable evening for the French XV
Six Nations 2024: a memorable evening for the French XV
(France 2)
At the end of a high-level match, the French beat England to the wire. A look back at a meeting and an evening of jubilation.
Hysterical supporters in front a magical French team. A whole stadium in jubilation, at the end of a match which kept all its promises. A few seconds earlier, the victory of the Blues was decided by a kick from Thomas Ramos. A stroke of genius from 50 meters which allows the French to win by two small points against the English. During 80 minutes of a high-intensity match, there was first euphoria, with a masterpiece from Nolann Le Garrec. A dazzling performance hailed by Antoine Dupont.
A match that the French will not forget
Then there was the anxiety. Stung in their pride, the English responded and scored three tries in less than 10 minutes. But this French team, which we thought was in difficulty since its failure at the World Cup, was able to show character. Léo Barré, 21, gives hope. Gaël Fickou’s teammates finished 2nd in the Six Nations tournament, a relief. The party continued in Lyon (Rhône) with 58,000 spectators. A night of rugby that will stay in people’s minds.
