“We have what it takes to move them”, Vincent Moscato remains confident for the Blues against New Zealand

Regarding the designation of the winner between France and New Zealand, bets are already open. Some think that the Blues must absolutely raise the level compared to the Japan match, others more confident think that Fabien Galthié's team can largely compete with that of Scott Robertson.

Moscato “puts a ticket” on France

Vincent Moscato is part of the second category. This is what he clearly said in the “Super Moscato Show”. Well, he said that the New Zealanders were going to suffer against Ireland, but that wasn't the case. But that doesn't make him change his idea about this remake of the opening match of the last World Cup, which he believes will be favorable to the French. We will undoubtedly be far from a one-sided match of course, but the French have great weapons to win.

This team has very few faults (…) I think we can take them. Against us, they (the Blacks) will play a lot less. They are forced to play because they are nature and you can only win by playing. But against us, they will be wary because they drop balls, I say it again, on counter-attacks, we are very good.

If we are diligent, we have enough to move them in melee, we have enough to hurt them on a few throw-in counterattacks. We're not going to give them 20 points, but I'm putting a post on this French team which is interesting, which is good for the eyes.

Denis Charvet was a little more measured than his friend from the “Super Moscato Show”. He speaks of a “50-50” and insists on the common experience of the Blacks who have been playing together for several months (while the French have just met again).

There is not an area where they are weak (…) We have the quality so I am not worried, but it will not be like the opening match of the World Cup where we were superior. It's not the same. It's a real test match.
