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 on Saturday March 16. A look back at a meeting and an evening of jubilation.
A whole stadium in jubilation, Saturday March 16, at the end of a match which kept all its promises. A few seconds before, the victory of the Blues was decided on a kick from Thomas Ramos. A stroke of genius from 50 meters which allowed 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 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 the French team, which we thought was in difficulty since its failure at the World Cup, was able to show character. Léo Barré, 21, gave hope. Gaël Fickou’s teammates finished second in the Six Nations tournament, a relief. The party continued in Lyon (Rhône) with 58,000 spectators.
