But the Blues have certainties and nuggets. One of them is Louis Bielle-Biarreyimperial on the wing. Already the author of a double against Japan, he once again rewarded the Stade de France with his special: a low ball, this time initiated by Thomas Ramosand the LBB “moped” emerges to beat everyone in the race to put the Blues in front (24-17, 51st).
Other young Blues scored points literally and figuratively, like Paul Boudehentauthor of a try after also a double against Japan or even Romain Buroswho was at the conclusion of a strong action by the Blues in the first period to come back to the score.
The Bordelais fullback, who celebrated his first selection with the Blues, was up to the task even if he was less in demand than expected, because the New Zealanders this time avoided the candles which they had been accustomed to for two matches.
Louis Bielle-Barrey’s try shortly after the break and which gave the Blues the biggest gap in the game, marked a new match: the teams, looking for the try before, then turned more towards the penalties in a breathtaking match.
The New Zealanders got closer to a point ten minutes from the end (27-26) and even six minutes (30-29), but the Blues kept their calm, like Thomas Ramos, author of ‘a 100% against the poles (15 points). And at the end of the breathtaking final minutes, it was a ball trapped by the Blues which delivered the Stade de France to a sold-out crowd.
