This victory for France over New Zealand was unfortunately not achieved without some damage on the Blues side. First there is Tevita Tatafu who had to leave his place very early in the match (in the first 10 minutes). Visibly injured in the knee, Fabien Galthié indicated at a press conference that it was a “crutch”.
Two concussion protocols for Boudehent and Taofifenua
Two other players from the forward pack were also affected, not really due to injury but due to concussion. Paul Boudehent and Romain Taofifenua are the two concerned: the first left late in the match, which was over before he could return, while the second did not respond favorably to the protocol and was therefore unable to return. game.
Taofifenua's withdrawal from next Friday's match against the Argentines should come as no surprise, but for Paul Boudehent, there is more uncertainty. Fabien Galthié indicated that these two HIA protocols were still “waiting for results”. We hope that the Rochelais will be there, given his performances in the two meetings of the tour.
To summarize
This victory for France over New Zealand was unfortunately not achieved without some damage on the Blues side. Three players were affected, including two on concussion protocol, which therefore creates uncertainty for the last match of the tour.
