A difficult but important victory! THE XV of France won in pain on Saturday evening against the New Zealand for his second match of the Autumn Tour (30-29). A success acquired in particular thanks to the great performance of the Toulousain Thomas Ramos while his partner Peato Mauvaka did not experience his usual performance. Notes from France – New Zealand.

They shined

His match started very badly with a missed tackle on New Zealand's first try. Yet, Thomas Ramos recovered well over the minutes against the All Blacks. Number ten of Blues was perfect in his kicking game, directly involved in two tries by delivering two assists and above all precise against the posts. His 100% success on shots on goal (6/6) and his 15 points allow the France to achieve a second victory in two matches this fall.

• Louis Bielle-Biarrey: 6.5/10

Saving ground coverage (18^And), a decisive tackle on Will Jordan (60^And), a try to give the Blues a good lead (51^And), Louis Bielle-Biarrey was on the prowl Saturday evening. He could have had the perfect match without his forward pass in his own 22 meters during a tense end to the match, ultimately without consequences (65^And).

The power of the colossus was expected to respond to the New Zealand challenge. The second row didn't take long before making headlines with a huge stamp on Jordie Barrett from the 19^And minute of play. The player Toulouse had an exceptional defensive performance against the Blacks until his release (49^And).

Scorer last week against Japanthe third row did it again this Saturday by scoring the second French try against the New Zealand. Holder, this time, in the absence of François Cros, Paul Boudehent showed his accuracy in the game and in defense with two offensive tackles.

They were a step below

Usually very visible and omnipresent, the hooker was more discreet on Saturday evening against the All Blacks. Although he made numerous tackles (16 in total), the Toulouse player was less present with the ball in his hands than during his last outings with the Blues. He also experienced major difficulties on the lineout in the first period like his entire lineup.

This interception could have been costly. Taken by Cameron Roigard on the second New Zealand try after a difficult exit from the scrum in his 22 meters, Gregory All shit made an error leading directly to an attempt which is not his usual practice. THE Rochelais then recovered well with a good scratch and a lot of defensive volume.

• Georges-Henri Colombe: 4/10

His entry into play coincided with the difficulties of the tricolor pack in closed scrum. His early replacement after the injury Avoid Tatafu did not promote a solid entry into the matter and Georges-Henri Colombe seemed physically challenged and in difficulty despite a good scratch after a quarter of an hour of play.
