The French rugby team had not won at Twickenham for 18 years before the demonstration on Saturday March 11. The Blues smashed their lifelong rivals to inflict their biggest defeat in crunch history.
In more than a century of rivalry, France had never won so largely against its English neighbor. “It’s a lot of emotion, a lot of chills“, says a supporter. It only took 90 seconds for the French to start their first big crossing of the field and register a first try by Thomas Ramos. It was then Thibaud Flament who pierced the defense of the XV de la Rose.
Coach moved by performance
Charles Ollivon, nicknamed “the great Charles”, has proven that in London (United Kingdom), the French can do better than resist, with a score of 27 to 3 at halftime. A fourth try is then scored, synonymous with an additional bonus point in the standings. France, in demonstration, will continue its ascent. With a score of 53 to 10, the Blues had fun on the meadow. Fabien Galthié, coach of the XV of France, laughed at it, before crying. “We played the way we wanted to play. We wanted to do that”he was moved at the end of the match.
