Very nice victory on the thread of the French men’s rugby team on Saturday evening in Paris against Australia in their first match of the autumn tour. A 30 to 29 success thanks to a magnificent test 3 minutes from the end of the meeting by Damien Penaud.
They knew how to stay mobilized – Fabien Galthié
The Clermont winger flattened a try along the sidelines in the 76th minute! Everything was not perfect for the French who found themselves after 8 months without international matches but they believed in themselves until the end. The coach of the Blues, Fabien Galthié was pleased with the ability of his team to “stay mobilized“.
79,000 excited spectators
Nearly 79,000 spectators were present on Saturday evening at the Stade de France in a very warm atmosphere. The Blues, very fit, sign their 11th consecutive victory, the longest winning streak in the history of the French team.
So many very positive signals less than a year from the Rugby World Cup which will be played in France. Next fall tour game: France-South Africaat the Marseille Velodrome next Saturday, November 12.
