We already know that it’s not the winning team of Romania that will play the decisive encounter against Ireland (October 11), let alone any quarters, semis and final of the World Cup. The second game was an opportunity to involve substitutes: everything was not perfect at first, against Italy (32-10), so there were places to take. But afterwards, I do not think the status of holders has changed. We can not say that there were a lot of revelations, and for some players, there’s even a good chance that the World Cup is already over.
If we want to stay positive , we note that we scored five tries and in the quest for a finisher after the injury of winger Yoann Huget, Sofiane Guitoune proved reassuring flattening twice, that is beautiful view of the short balls who came to him. It will also highlight the 100% of Morgan Parra at shot on goal, including its transformations edge key, and slaughter of the second line. And will be remembered that in other times a XV of France and stammering his rugby for a good half hour would perhaps not able to find the key to unlock the game before halftime.

But without darken the picture to extremes, let’s say I’d rather write this chronicle of an exciting game, and it was anything but. There was a lot of waste and conquest infancy, we often put the cart before the horse, and we made the game a strong Romanian team, but courageous imagination that made us crack.
We would like this to be more fluid and there is concern because you wonder if it will pass before a stronger opposition. For now, it goes, that’s two wins, and we are moving as expected toward a “final” of the hen against Ireland. But we can not say that there is a progression in terms of content.
All nations now have embarked on a full rugby, dynamics with a bit more variation than our Blues.
Philippe Saint-André has a avoinée his players at halftime to try refitting. They do not demerit, they were supportive and courageous, but we feel borrowed them, clumsy, febrile. That must annoy her criticism that the quality of the game, but I know that Philippe is a competitor, and that, too, of course, he would like more, he would like better. His team two months of training spell, and it is still not folichon
On Wednesday, we were treated to an Australia-Fiji rather interesting. the previous days, we have seen the Welsh to 50 points; we saw the Irish to 50 points; and there has been a New Zealand – Argentina beautiful, certainly the top of the competition, if one puts aside the suspense of Japan-South Africa. In short, the artistic mark, even if it does not exist in rugby, we are in the classroom.
All nations now have embarked on a full rugby, dynamic, with a bit more variation than our Blues. The All Blacks first: there are four or eight years, they often were betting on a game against attack. Today, they produce many more. Even the British, who have long relied on a formidable front package and a great scorer, is now recovering in explosives to three quarters to whom they give a lot of balls.
We can thinking that France is the only team at this point that reduces their offensive ambitions. It is based on fundamental, which is perhaps not very aesthetic, but, anyway, glamor was not in the specifications of Philippe Saint-André. It does not bother, he put the spiked helmet, and maybe we will be world champion rugby with this one. I still think that to go after, artistic notes will necessarily have to improve. Hopefully. For now, things are progressing. Finally, it does not progress, it going …
