INVENTION

The first quarter of an hour slips away on 0-0, until the invention of Antoine Dupont in 18 ‘: the Bleus besiege the goal line, get an advantage, the scrum median sails for a few meters horizontally until He sees the small gap in which to kick the ball to go and cross the race to the right flag of the twenty year old Ala Theo Attissgobe. The trend does not change and 5 minutes later, with the Welsh defense still in great suffering, this time Thomas Ramos is the one to overlook the other Louis Bielle-Biarey with a nice Assist for the second destination. Ramos who after missing the first, puts the second transformation. Wales, which in the last two seasons has certainly not been kissed by fortune, loses Owen Watkin by accident and replaces it with the newcomer Daniel Edwards, who settles at the opening with Ben Thomas who goes to the center. A shoulder against Bielle-Biarey’s head costs the yellow card to the French heels Evan Lloyd. The French devour the opportunity by making a mistake, but DuPont still thinks about it, which at 34 ‘gets angry in a hole in the midst of a swarm of red shirts and then gives you to perish a ball only to crush (the impression It is that the passage of the midfielder is forward of one meter, but the TV does not show a replay that clarifies and the referee does not call the TMO). And at the last action of the first half, the Welsh manage to stop a maul, but from the Ruck on the goal line it is still Dupont to take out the oval to serve it left at Bielle-Barrey, for the brace that already is worth the bonus . Ramos transforms them and hentrambe for the 28-0 on which you go to rest.

OLYMPICS

At 50 ‘the DuPont match ends (Nolann Le Garc enters), with the CT Fabien Galthie that changes you are all together. Five minutes later, from Touche to 5 meters, the French Maul is overwhelming and crushing the take -off heels Julien Marcheand. And, speaking of Olympics, it must be specified that, despite both being from Toulouse (even if the rugby player was born a few km away, in Saint-Gaudens), Julien is not a relative of the Olympic multiple champion and the world of world swimming Leon Marchand. That last November he had gone to witness France’s victory over the All Blacks (he is a great fans and obviously Tolosa fan), then visiting the players in the changing rooms for a particularly amused embrace with his homonymous. At 68 ‘after a long and beautiful attack, with splendid hands of the trocar, it is a soccer by Romain Ntamack who fishing for the flag Emilien Gailleton, just who took over from Ramos, who jumps the last defender and crushes. First Ramos and then the Garres are wrong the two transformations. Ntamack (which returned to the national team after 17 months for two injuries) which immediately collects the red card for a dangerous shoulder plate on Edwards. However, equality immediately restored for yellow to the second line Freddie Thomas, after yet another foul of the Welsh. Fales that do not prevent France from signing the seventh destination in the 78th minute, signed by Greg Alldtt, to crown a the French attack. The Garres also lacks this transformation, but does not move anything.
