At the Stade de France
Give us the World Cup right away, with Léa Seydoux and the Vuitton case. And then gold-plated glasses from Gucci for Fabien Galthié. Ah, and also the Ballon d'Or for Toto Dupont. We get carried away a little, so what? The last time we watched a France All Black in situ, in 2015, the Blues had picked up 60 and did not know where to hide in the corridors of the Millennium to dry their tears of shame. Six years later, French rugby managed to get out of the coffin faster than Uma Thurman in Kill Bill. 40-25 against blacks rinsed, of course, blacks in white, for once they bitch the bastards, but the blacks all the same.
"We ticked off this meeting" 🇫🇷

A magical first half
How to tell this match of déglingos?
A half time to see only blue, casseroles as we do more, and Mauvaka who heals his stats in selection despite one or two throws lost on the way.
The Stade de France barely had time to catch its breath between two Marseillaises, and the All Blacks were chewed on each impact, knocked down by the Danty bus and the ferocity of the French forwards.
24-6 at the break, we had fun doing the accounts.
Wouldn't that be the biggest gap
ever
against New Zealand?
There was a point missing, on reflection, the color of which we would not see after rest.
A bad kick from Jaminet, the only one since the tricolor back landed like a bowling ball in Marcoussis, one or two unpleasant whistles from Wayne Barnes, who was also very kind to our boys, and the Blacks had returned to 27-25 in two taps of a pot spoon.
AND 2 🇫🇷🇫🇷

The relaunch of Ntamack changed everything
The drama was very close, since we do not lead 20 points against the Blacks every day, or even every ten years, and our spine shivered with fear on a kick to follow in the 22 tricolors.
And there, the mi-mi, the ra-ra, the miracle.
Finally, the phenomenal inspiration of Romain Ntamack.
Logic commanded the Toulouse opener to flatten in his in-goal even if it meant conceding a scrum at five meters, but Snowy's son saw some raises from the father from space, so he turned his chest in -before, and rebounded between the black defenders in an unreal moment.
80 meters further, Savea took a yellow to avoid a test almost done, and the Blues reclicked the brain at once.
"BUT OUI MONSIEUR" 😍🔥

Last ten minutes to almost savor the moment after a flying interception from Damien Penaud.
40-25, a result to be framed two years before the opening match of the World Cup at the same place.
And to savor too.
It was believed that the men of Galthié would never leave Saint-Denis after long hugs with their opponents and a lap of honor to screw your hair.
There are evenings that we would like never to end.
