Facing the XV du Chardon on Saturday, the Blues want to continue dreaming of a Grand Slam in this Six Nations Tournament.
The French did not wait long to score two tries, Saturday February 26 at Murrayfield, against Scotland, during the third day of the Six Nations Tournament. In an explosive match that keeps all its promises, the XV du Chardon replied, coming back to score, but Gaël Fickou played magic to put the Habs back on the right track just before half-time.
8th minute: Paul Willems materializes a masterful recovery from Antoine Dupont

13th minute: Yoram Moefana doubles the bet on a school action
The break for the French! On a touch at the entrance of the opposing 22 meters, the Blues initiate a combination off. After a fixing point from Grégory Alldritt, Jonathan Danty launches Romain Ntamack blind, which spreads to the wing of Damian Penaud. The Clermontois avoids the touchdown and gives Cyril Baille. The prop reaches out for Yoram Moefana who collapses behind the line and scores his first international try.
29th minute: the Scots come back after a streak of shelling
The XV du Chardon is fighting back! After a penalty played by hand by Stuart McInally, the Scots put pressure in the five meters French. The locals multiply the playing time up close, and Ali Price fixes his tricolor vis-à-vis to launch Rory Darge. The flanker wins his duel with Anthony Jelonch and flattens to revive Scotland.

40th minute: Gaël Fickou stuns the Scots on the siren
In difficulty at the end of the first period, the Blues give themselves some air. Found in pivot, Romain Ntamack launches Gaël Fickou in the center of the field.

Melvyn Jaminet transforms and gives the Blues a nine-point lead at the break (19-10).
