The notes of Blue in the face to All Blacks : Gourdon sparkly, Lopez … – Le Figaro Sport

The flanker, which is omnipresent in attack as in defence, is the revelation of the fall tour. Vahaamahina has also shown by its involvement in the fight. The opener of Clermont has messed up a clean copy for his pass intercepted. The turning point of the match.

With Arnaud Coudry, at the Stade de France

Chiocci 5. Loses a ball precious in the 22 kiwi (22^e). Effective in melee. Little seen ball in hands. Replaced by Cyril Yawn (60^e). Dominator melee closed.

Guirado 4,5. Stopped at 50 cm from the in-goal at the 60^e minute. At the forefront of the battle, but loses a ball on the ground. Has his speed especially, four shots gone astray, key and some booed by the alignment of new zealand. Scratch two balls on the ground. The captain leaves the field of battle at the 69^e minute and was replaced by Camille Cat. Who does not give her hand to the dog.

Atonio 6. Sanctioned melee closed 10 metres in front of the posts to NZ. A few effective supports. A load of monstrous who put two All Blacks on the bottom (49^e). We have seen a lot of defying the new zealand defence. Gives way to Slimani (60^e) which folds its screw-to-screw over the melee at the origin of the single-trial French.

Vahaamahina has been fierce

Maestri not rated. An early game full of aggression. Unfortunately, affected the right ankle, it must yield its place (15^e) Julian The Devedec (4), who has suffered physically and has not succeeded in restoring good order in the key.

Vahaamahina 7. He had announced. The second-line of clermont-ferrand has been fierce. Déblayages, expenses, balloons worn, it hurts in the front in new zealand. Two breakthroughs in power at the 42^e. Finally aggressive. And constant during the 80 minutes.

Ollivon 6. Ubiquitous in the fight. By its pressure defensive, scrapes a ball of precious which provides the penalty of 6-10 just before the break to Machenaud. However, loses both balloons, the one-on-one in-front a few meters from the promised land on a breakthrough of Machenaud (13^e).

Gourdon 7,5. A match huge. Advances in full field, an iron defense (9 tackler, the best total side habs). The flanker of La Rochelle is, without doubt, the great revelation of this fall tour. Incessant activity and supports the cutting edges. The perfect link between forwards and three-quarters.

Picamoles 5. Shaken from the kick-off by Retallick, he’s been in. The number 8 has too little advanced at the impact. A ball was lost in contact (19^e). Another lost on a pass that doesn’t Vakatawa on an opportunity to test at the time of the game. Served a beautiful pass in the back of Serin, he has written the only essay habs. Replaced by Chouly (66^e).

Machenaud has made some miracles under pressure

Machenaud 6. A lot more present than in the first two tests. However, lack of alternation by playing three times at the foot. Has made some miracles under pressure behind the rucks. 2 on 2 in his role of scorer. Give up his place to Baptiste Serin as soon as the 48^e. That immediately made admire the vista. Fast and inspired, his chistera to send Picamoles in the promised land is the most beautiful example. Deserves to start a match.

Lopez 4,5. A return to blue are mixed. Regulator rows back, however, he has forgotten the foot in its range of opener with a single balloon typed in the current game ! Taken over by Savea to three metres in-goal after a beautiful collective movement driven by Gourdon, relayed by Machenaud and Vakatawa (9^e). He did not parade in defence (8 tackle). Has his passive, his pass intercepted in the 22 new zealanders in the 42^e for a counter assassin of Beauden Barrett who is going to flatten 80 meters away (42^e). The risk when it is also flat…

Vakatawa 5,5. Every time he is asked, he électrise the stage (84 meters traveled ball in hands). But the waste like on this little kick completely unscrewed (3^e), or this goes poorly controlled for Fofana who commits a before (28^e). Little at his ease on the balloons of air that Barrett abused.

Fofana 5,5. Leaves the field of the 12 to the 15^e for a protocol for concussions. Two turnovers, including this in-prior to the conclusion of a breakthrough where he had found the support of Vakatawa (28^e). But now in defence and very active in front of the first curtain. Has not quite dared to challenge him more openly.

Nakaitaci has struggled to be at the reception balloons air

Lamerat 6. Not the most brilliant but what a presence ! In defense, in the rucks, for a balloon scraped by throwing himself as a death of hunger. Powerful, it is still managing to move forward one or two yards with defenders on the saddle. Replaced by Gael Fickou (60^e).

Nakaitaci 5. Surprised by the ball up to Barrett as soon as the 3^e minute for the first try of the All Blacks. The opener of new zealand has focused a lot on the foot in the corner, the winger having struggled to be located at the reception of balloons in the air. Tried a few shots, with a capacity noticed standing on the first contacts. Less in view than against Australia.

Dulin 5,5. The soloist has made passes ! Four to be exact. It has sometimes managed to sneak into the traffic, as during his long raid on a stimulus initiated at the 49^e minute. Four defenders beaten in the end. But also three turnovers. Unlikely, therefore, that it has outstripped Spedding, package for this match, in the hierarchy of the rear.
