the XV of France largely beat Georgia (41-15), Sunday in Bordeaux, during his second test match of the fall, six days to receive the legendary All Blacks.
Clermont winger Damian Penaud and Toulouse hooker Peato Mauvaka, a double each, scored four of the six tries of the Blues against the Lelos, taking advantage of the two yellow cards of Georgians Tedo Abzhandadze (15th) and Beka Saghinadze (24th).
It doesn’t matter if they won their second match in November without convincing them. Apart from last season, with an autumn Cup of Nations deprived of the main ones in the Southern Hemisphere due to the pandemic, the Blues must go back to 2014 to end the fall with a positive record (victories against Australia and Fiji, defeat against Argentina).
“The copy is not perfect”
Antoine Dupont, at the microphone of France 2: “The result is more than satisfactory, but the copy is not perfect. We played a serious game, we were never in difficulty, our start in the second period allowed them to score a try but we were present in general throughout the match. The score allowed us to give everyone playing time, which can only be beneficial for the group. “
Damian Penaud : “We found some automatisms, we had ideal conditions in the first half, we were able to develop our game, in the second half, it was a little more complicated. We will retain the state of mind and the manner. We will have to be ready against New Zealand (next Saturday at the Stade de France). The objective was to win the first two matches, now we will be able to switch to New Zealand and we will start the week with a bang because we still have work to do. “
