With David Reyrat Cardiff

Ben Arous (4): Whereas in the ground game, the racingman did not bring what is expected of him. A discreet game. Worrying at this stage of the competition. Replaced by Debaty (61)

Guirado (4.5.): Three shots lost key. Against a drop of Carter (23rd). But did not bring its usual punch. Replaced by Szarzewski (57 ^th )

Slimani (4). Little more now that his left pillar. The right-hander did not shine in melee. Nor in battle. Replaced by Mas (61st)

Pape (3.5.): A last game for France missed. Many posturing for not much. Lost three balls. The comparison with the second New Zealand Online hurts. Replaced by Nyanga (48)

Maestri (4). face of the spill, it was not unworthy but has not floated like he did to Usually in big events. His contribution was limited, unlike usual

Dusautoir (4). The captain, for what could be his last game in Blue, was not his usual slaughter with “only” seven tackles and three failed. Penalized twice

Le Roux (3.5.): Tenured to counter the black waves, flanker has struggled in defense (14 tackles), but without it weighs on the game. Much activity in the void. Three lost balls

Picamoles (5). One of the few French to move forward and not give up. Brand strength, the only try of the Blues. Takes a yellow for a punch on McCaw (47 ^th ). But had the merit to fight, not to admit defeat. Replaced by Chouly (72)

Parra (3). Whereas as the savior of the Blues for the quarterfinals, scrumhalf Clermont has not affected the events. It has sought to stick to the ball but never create danger. Replaced by Kockott (69)

Tales (3). Replace from the 12 ^th minute Michalak, who had experienced a catastrophic begins before slamming the ball stopped by Rettalick leading to the first kiwi tested. Talès delivered a dull party, without genius. Has not escaped the defense with 10 tackles. But he missed 3

Dulin (3). What’s racingman missed! Totally out of touch, archidominé on his wing. Is mystifying, a hook, Milner-Skudder (24 ^th ). Countered by Ben Smith (49 ^th ), fortunately without consequence. Is definitely not a winger

Fofana (5). The only line of three-quarters to try things. Tried to pierce the black wall. Won 83 m in 10 races. Isolated

too

Dumoulin (2). The most unexpected change Saint-André, the center of Racing has managed to boost the game the Blues, creating uncertainty . Replaced by Bastareaud (61 ^th )

Nakaitaci (2): One wonders if he wanted to play. Rate the 1 ^st of 3 missed tackles on the 2 ^th test Savea (39 ^th ). Escape a ball at impact against unstoppable Savea for the 6 ^th New Zealand trial. A nonchalance unacceptable at this level

Spedding (4). A showed some strength unlike many of his teammates. Carter solid in a candle in his 22 m (38 ^th ). But the back has missed three tackles and has only rarely brought the danger.
