A New Zealander was guilty of a very nasty gesture towards a French player on Saturday evening, during the victory of the French XV over the All Blacks (30-29).

Fabien Galthié's troop won at the end of the suspense (30-29)thanks to an iron defense and an effective attack. The French XV thus signed a third victory in a row against the All Blacks and a second in a row in this autumn tour after dominating Japan.
A meeting which could have tilted in favor of the French earlier in the match… At the 11e minute of play, Tyrel Lomax was guilty of a very bad move on Emmanuel Meafou. While the Frenchman was on the ground the New Zealand prop punched him in the face.
“So we have the right to put potatoes on a guy on the ground? »

And he is not the only one to have noticed this fact of the game, which was not the subject of a slow motion from TF1, broadcaster of the match.
“It’s incredible all the same and not once have they talked about it on TF1”, “Closed hand is a red card if I’m not mistaken”, “The Frenchman should have stayed on the ground and held his face, the referee would have stopped the game and reviewed the action on video, the Frenchman was too honest, he had to play it from experience », We can read among the comments.
