A victory that feels good #FRANSCOT

It is indeed the XV of France who emerged victorious against Scotland on this sunny Saturday at the Stade de France.   [Updated February 23, 2019 at 7:40 pm] The French team should not lose, they had no right to make mistakes. Mission accomplished, France won 27-10 in a great game but not perfect.  A French team that starts the game strong, with speed and play for the pleasure of the viewers and supporters present at the stadium.  Three attempts will be refused during the meeting.

France lost two consecutive matches after this fiasco against a brilliant English team.  [Updated February 10, 2019 at 5:40 pm] In fact, the "tricolor" did not react to this meeting so long awaited by the rugby world by inflicting a heavy 44-8 defeat on themselves in Twickenham. It took two short minutes for the English to find the flaw in the opponent's defence to score a try. The tone of the game was set: a one-way game. A real white tide spreads over an impotent XV of France.  Despite a nice reaction just before the break with a very good group test, Jacques Brunel's men had 5 more tries.  England took first place in the tournament with 10 points, followed by Wales with 8 points. France with 1 point is 5th.  RIFF Lucas Follow me on INSTAGRAM Lucas.riff EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS : ENGLAND - FRANCE (44-8)   Some statistics 9  England won 9 of the 12 matches against France in the 6-nation tournamen...
