6 Nations Rugby 2019 LIVE

XV of France. First nightmare selection for Toulouse's Romain Ntamack with Les Bleus [Updated March 12, 2019 at 3:46 pm]    We had to expect it more than the others. Romain Ntamack, just 19 years old, was playing a crucial match for the French team this Friday when it entered the 2019 VI Nations Tournament.  Scrupulous, targeted and even chased in the Welsh defence, the young Toulouse native missed his first copy. Although Jacques Brunel did not hesitate to play for 80 minutes, Romain Ntamack simply missed his debut in the national team. Figures that speak for themselves The youngest of the Tricolores at the start of the game never managed to make it through, even in the first half, when Les Bleus won everything in their path.The young Frenchman was completely muzzled by the Welsh defenders.  In total, 9 races, 36 metres won, 0 crossings, 2 defenders beaten only and 3 balls lost by Romain Ntamack. The Toulouse nati...

The blue team, dominated throughout the game, saved the honour (26-14) at the end of the game against Ireland on Sunday for their 3rd match of the tournament.  [Updated March 10, 2019 at 6:46 pm] After a hope after the blue team's victory over Scotland, the French team was swept away by Ireland. the observation is simple: she touched almost no balls, spending most of the match to be defended in her side. The defense had held 65 seconds against England, it held 2 minutes today.  The French came back from the break with much better intentions, but it was another gap that became apparent: inability to be dangerous in the Irish 22 metres. The humiliation continued in full with three penalties conceded after one hour of play. After that, Dorian Aldegheri took a yellow card. Leaving his team at 14 against 15 for the rest of the game.  It is at this moment that the French team will return to the score very traditionally and register two tries. A mira...

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. It was only a matter of time before France, who scored a try thanks to Ntamack, a few minutes later, following a hard work by Thomas Ramos who covered the entire field for more than 50 metres.  However, Scotland did not break and took advantage of the Blues' numerous fouls to return to the break with a deficit of only seven points (10-3).  Back from the locker room. As blue fans, I'm used to being disappointed by my team in the second half. This Saturday, the oppos...

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...
