A glass ceiling to break for the Blues. A week after its big victory against Italy (39-3), the XV of France faces New Zealand, Saturday November 5 at 7:30 am at Eden Park in Auckland, on behalf of the semi-finals of the Cup World Rugby 2022.
After six out of six defeats at the gates of the final (1991, 1994, 2002, 2006, 2014, 2017), Thomas Darracq’s players will have to play the perfect match against the Black Ferns, who will benefit from the support of their public. The reasons for hope remain important for the Blue, who have won their last four meetings against the reigning world champions since November 2018.
