For the great return of Antoine Dupont, the XV of France crushed Japan and got off to a perfect start to its November tour (52 – 12). The Blues scored eight tries, including doubles from Bielle-Biarrey and Boudehent. A perfect introduction before the clash in a week against the All Blacks. The only downside: the injury-related exits of second row Thibaud Flament in the first period and Théo Attissogbe at the end of the match.
Difficult year for the Blues, but easy victory for their return to the Stade de France, against a very weak Japan (52-12). The dispossession game worked perfectly against the Brave Blossoms lacking inspiration and efficiency. Fabien Galthié's men are full of confidence before challenging the All Blacks next week, for a match of a completely different caliber.
Input efficiency
Japan had scored a try in the 4th minute against New Zealand, this time, they conceded one just as early, by Bielle-Biarrey who flattened after their own kicking game (5-0). The Bordo-Béglais was also building on the second try, making the difference on the right before being caught. Ramos sent a foot pass to Gailleton, to score on the second French offensive (12-0, 12th). The winger, on fire during the 80 minutes, sent a new kick to follow from his wing, concluded by Roumat (19-0, 20th), first start and first try for Blue.
In the fourth episode of the LBB show, he received a pass at the foot of Ramos, a one-two with Moefana before scoring in the corner (26-0, 29th). Although Japan may seem very invisible at the start of the match, they nevertheless had more of the ball, but Eddie Jones' men did not know what to do with it, apart from kicks over the top which were doomed to failure. Dylan Riley thought he scored an unexpected try, but he actually received the ball after a forward (38th). It was a few minutes after Mauvaka's fifth try, on a trickster combination in touch (31-0, 34th).
