At the Stade de France, the show is also played before the match

The images are striking, whether you are at the Stade de France or in front of your television. Last Saturday, in a Stade de France plunged into darkness, where the flashes of telephones sparkled in the stands, the New Zealanders, in a rectangle of light aimed at them, performed the haka. The other spotlights are placed on the Blues, in line, about twenty meters from Rieko Ioane and his teammates. The scenography, which is the same during the anthems, the emotion of a Marseillaise which also ends a cappella, is a successful new addition to this November tour.
