Vital

France’s XV did not run the course this Saturday in Edinburgh against Scotland (25-21).
Despite 18 points ahead at half-time and a numerical advantage from the 51st minute, the Blues were defeated in the second half.
This defeat in this first warm-up match before the World Cup, however, can be explained by a squad review conducted by Fabien Galtier.
The coach didn’t line up the shots. He was able to keep the neo-blues promises of Louis Biel-Biarry and Émilien Guyeton.

This is the end of this living

Thank you all for following us. We meet a new live broadcast for the second preparatory match of the French national team on August 12. The Blues will be eligible for a rematch against Scotland in Saint-Étienne.

Doolin: “It’s encouraging, but frustrating”

“It was a minimum (state of mind), which is a shame, it’s that we built our first period well,” Doolin analyzed at the TF1 microphone. In the second half, we manage to keep us at home, we make small mistakes, we can hardly contain the pressure and we do not convert our 3-4 chances. These are small adjustments, it’s encouraging, but it’s frustrating that we didn’t win in view of what we’ve produced. »

END OF THE MATCH. Renewed French team leaves Murrayfield

The Blues failed to score in the second half as Scotland scored 22 points, turning the game around completely. In numerical superiority, France could not resist without its leaders (25-21).

80’+3

The last chance for the French is extinguished by the Scottish defensive line. XV thistle scratches the ball 5 meters from the in-goal and secures the win.

80’+1

Doolin finds a penalty in 22 Scots.

79′

Serin is trying to play well with a small shot on goal. Unfortunately, Biel-Biarry is too honest, Mr. O’Keefe returns to the advantage.

78′

The Blues are 15 meters from the goal line. They will seek punishment. If Scotland dominates the ruck, the ball is always French.

75′ New fair catch

Russell again receives a package sent by Doolin.

17:59

74′ Between poles

Scotland take a 4-point lead thanks to Russell’s perfect position in front of the post.

73′ Scotland take a dangerous penalty

Russell will try 22 meters.

70′

The first good French sequence is nullified due to the loss of the ball by Tanga. The Scots come out, Doolin replays on foot, but Kinghorn intercepts the ball on the fly.

67′ “Blues” is still silent in the second half.

The French have been running for 10 minutes with 7% possession.

Anxiety

64′ And Cherry puts Scotland in the lead.

On the sidelines, Dave Cherry is patiently trying to turn this ball from 5 meters out of the in-goal into a try. The eccentric Russell misses the transformation, but Scotland is ahead (22-21).

63′

Danger no longer leaves 22 Blues. Scottish balls touched France. Entering the game, Mauwaka scratches the ball, but Scotland recovers the penalty after losing the tricolor again.

Test canceled

The action is spoiled by Graham’s striker, a warning without consequences for France.

Anxiety

60 ‘At 14, Scotland takes the lead again

While they are 14, the Scots will physically hurt the French. The latter lose their clarity of consciousness, and Kinghorn is left alone on the right side. At court, he quietly slips away: 22-21 in favor of Scotland.

Anxiety

55′ Red Fagerson!

While the head umpire gave him a yellow card, Fagerson was finally ejected by the Bunker umpires “for characteristic danger, lack of extenuating circumstances”. Mr. O’Keeffe used this “bunker”, a system proven during these setup matches, to allow play to resume. The video referees then had 8 minutes to evaluate whether this yellow card should be converted to a red card or not.

Anxiety

54′ Scotland second try

This time, without hesitation, Schumann’s essay is clear. The left support made me talk about the strength and mobility at the exit from the ruck next to the in-goal line. Russell transforms the test (17-21) and confirms the awakening of thistle XV, but is reduced to 14.

51′ Yellow for Fagerson

The Scottish right-back is sent off for ten minutes, unless the bunker turns the penalty into a red card. The bunker judges have 8 minutes to decide.

51′

The Blues are suffering from Scottish acceleration. Burgarit, he’s hit in the head after Fagerson’s muscle cleansing.

47′

Scotland came back better in the second act. Graham again allows his country to get touched in French 22 after a Doolin foul.

45′

France gets touched in Scotland 22. The Tricolor choose to carry the ball, but Scotland do better than fight back. Burgarit tries to move forward, the Blues progress closing the exits, but the referee whistles the scrum with a Scottish entry.

Falatea replaced Bamba

Anxiety

43′ Reaction to the entry of the Scots

The Scottish wingers break through the tricolor defensive line. The ball returns to the center of the field, and Finn Russell finds time to correct the game with his foot towards the right flank. The oval bounces off the goal line and Graham heads past Dumortier to flatten the ball. After a long appeal to the video, the test is validated (10-21). In a sharp angle, Russell transforms him.

41′ Here we go again

HALF.

Defensively impenetrable, the Blues extended their lead for the first time since their young guard sorties. Biel-Biarré is at the forefront of Cuyo’s first attempt and took over the registration of the second himself. All this on the day of his christening in Blue. Just before the break, Waukey rewarded the French with one last collective effort. While the XV Thistles were up against a typical team, France are well ahead thanks to their spares (3-21).

Anxiety

40’+3 Woki gets ahead and increases the gap!!!

In snake mode, the second line slipped into the forest of legs to straighten out to the left of the uprights. Following the key, the tricolor is paid for with a ball. Jalibert managed to convert his third shot of the game. France will lead the break by 18 points (3-21).

40’+1

The Blues insist on a Scottish camp at the end of the first period. The referee whistles a penalty at 22. Jaliber chooses a penalty. France wants a third try.

38′

France restores the fight after an unsuccessful ball held by the Scots.

34′

Full axis, Jalibert is trying to jump. It doesn’t work. The Scots clear the ball and Mr O’Keeffe whistles a penalty at the Blues’ goal from offside.

33′ Scottish Fake Joy

The Scots believe that they will be brought to justice. Van der Merwe slipped into the in-goal, but the referee whistled forward more than ten seconds early during the action. The winger did not appear to have heard Murrayfield Stadium go up in flames.

16:47

thirty’

XV thistle rests on the three-color protection with every overclocking attempt. The tanga of the 3rd line is especially strong.

Anxiety

25′ Bielle-Biarri scores the first goal for Blue!!

After a French strike, Cuyo enters the axis. Doolin stops, but manages to release the skin for Kuyo again. He finds Jalibert. Bordelais caters to the young Biel-Biarré who does the rest. Too quickly for the Scots, he feigned an outside pass and closed in the left corner. Jaliber transforms the test: 14 to 3 for blue.

16:40

22′

XV Thistle is under pressure. Van der Merwe is forced to run parallel to his goal line to avoid the hands of the French. The kick protects the Scots, but the Blues have a strong moment.

16:37

20′

The blues advance in large force to the left of the meadow. Cuyo shoots down the middle and a shot blocked by Doulin benefits Moefana, who comes to a stop right in front of the in-goal in the right corner of the pitch. Scottish touch.

16:34

17′

Biel-Biarree’s high tackle in the Scottish camp after being hit by Jalibert. The referee does not accelerate, but white remains on the ground for a while.

16′

Interception of Jaliber. Bordeaux put an end to the Scottish advance on the right flank of the tricolor defense. He plays on foot to give air to the French.

16:30

Anxiety

12′ Kuyo at the end of the counterattack!!!

A splendid action initiated by the young Biel-Biarri and Guyleton, the author of the unloading in the direction of the first city. The winger then found Jaliber launched, who filed Cuyo for a try. Zhaliber is responsible for the transformation, France is ahead for the first time: 7:3.

16:26

10′

Having received the key, the three-colored sledgehammer advances towards the line, but the skin eludes the Blues a few meters from the Scot’s in-goal.

9′

The penalty whistled in favor of France, who stopped the Scottish counter-attack with a tackle by Tanguy. Jalibert goes for the key.
