The XV of France started its first match of the fall tour perfectly by scoring a first try by Louis Bielle-Biarrey after watching the video. A test validated despite a forward move from the UBB winger.
The XV of France did not delay in launching its autumn tour. Facing Japan this Saturday at the Stade de France, Fabien Galthié’s players scored the first try of the match in the 4th minute.
Alerted on the wing, Louis Bielle-Biarrey kicked for himself and took advantage of a hand fault from Tuitama to flatten with one hand. The test was validated on video, although there seemed to be a forward with the rebound of the ball on the chest of the UBB player. For Denis Charvet, rugby consultant for RMC, the test should not have been validated.

This early test launched the French XV perfectly, technically very clean and well organized. The Blues quickly made the difference, scoring two more tries after 20 minutes. After a good, precise game from Thomas Ramos, Emilien Gailleton took advantage of the spaces to calmly flatten (12-0, 10th).
Antoine Dupont’s teammates scored a third try through Alexandre Roumat ten minutes later. In this situation, the video also intervened to verify a possible loss of control of the ball on the part of the third line. But referee Damian Schneider validated the try, allowing the French XV to lead 19-0 after 20 minutes.
