The All Blacks, beaten by the XV of France during the opening match at the Stade de France last weekend, did not provide details against Namibia this Friday evening in Toulouse. Like in 2015 and 2019.
Bonus after 25 minutes of play
Despite the support of the public who chanted “Namibia, Namibia” in the rain, the Namibians did not last long against Ian Foster’s men. After 25 minutes of play, the Blacks had already scored four tries and therefore validated the offensive bonus. 16 years after their last visit to the island of Ramier, the New Zealanders delighted the public of the pink city by scoring 11 tries. The only downside on their side: the red card received by pillar Ethan de Groot.
Whitelock in the pantheon of Kiwis, from supporters to angels
New Zealand’s iconic second row Samuel Whitelock took the opportunity to make Kiwi rugby history this Friday evening in Toulouse. History will indeed remember that it was at the Stadium that the future Palois equaled the number of caps of Richie McCaw (148).
In the stands of the Stadium, many “French people” had opted for the black outfit of the All Blacks. “New Zealand is emblematic”, one of them said. Nina, an absolute fan, even came from Germany with her dad to realize her dream of seeing New Zealand play: “It’s a very emotional moment for me. This is the first time I’ve seen them.”
