Context

We are in 2011. In a few months, Mark Liveremont’s people will be flying to New Zealand. These 6 Nations tournaments already promise to distribute the final places in a tricolor group. If they are title holders (last to date), the Blues are not yet advancing as big favorites in the competition. The first meeting confirms some doubts: against the gameable Scotland, France first scored a test of Medard or Harinordoqui’s achievement following a famous pass between the legs of Trin-Duck.

If they win comfortably (34-21), two conceded attempts at the end of the game will raise concerns that the trip to Ireland will not be easy.

The game

Five minutes after the game, Clover’s XV already thanks Fergus McFandon. France avoids drowning, Morgan Para allows Irish mistakes thanks to its melee. Half time ago, Brian O’Driscoll’s teammates returned to the front row, thanks to a scrum-half Thomas O’Leary flush, who took back the blue defense.

The second will continue in the second effect as Jamie Hislip will also go behind the chalk line. But in a perfect match, ലിയRelian Rugby allows Modard to make the second attempt of the tournament. Yaravili takes over from Para and worsens the score on foot and allows for local discrimination. Success is enough, 25 to 22.

Teams

Compared to 2011, there is no player in the France group yet. Declan Kidney already relied on a certain … Jonathan Sexton. Will he be on the field this Sunday, even though he left last weekend on suspicion of injury? to be continued…

We note that only Hugh, Trinco-Duck, Modard, Para and Guerrero have hung their crumbs so far.

Note that Stephen Jones is now part of the Welsh staff.
