New victory for the French team which beat the Springboks, reigning world champions 30 to 26, on Saturday November 12, in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône). Fabien Galthié’s men, undefeated for 12 matches, suffered a lot, but resisted until the end.
The XV of France remained on seven defeats in a row against the players of South Africa. The Blues beat the reigning world champions on Saturday November 12 at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône). In this fall tour, the picking has been good. Two red cards, one on the South African side and the other for Antoine Dupont on an involuntary fault and the concussion protocol had to be put in place five times at the Vélodrome. The stadium infirmary has never been visited so much.
With two tries per team, the match is balanced. 16-10 at half-time, the French then retreat, but hold the shock and show their strength of character at the end of the match. Led by four points six minutes from the end, they took the lead thanks to a try from Sipili falateawho almost apologizes for scoring. “I rather wanted to make up for the touch that we had lost. To make up for it, I wanted to bring something to the team and that’s what test”, said the pillar at the end of the game. France remains on 12 matches without defeat. The Blues no longer know how to lose. If it could last until the end of the World Cup in 2023, it would not displease us.
