The Fijian enthusiasm lasted only about fifteen minutes. In Lyon, the XV of France then combined rigor and offensive speed to win largely (54-17) against Fiji, Saturday November 7, for the fourth day of the new Nations Championship.
Fabien Galthié's men flattened four times in twenty-one minutes to take the lead, and the offensive bonus in the process, from the first period (between the 15th minute and the 36th minute). Facing them, the Fijians remained sterile offensively, unable to play their game. The French then worsened the score in the middle of the second half, inflicting two tries in three minutes (60th, 63rd). If Fiji saved the honor with Vinaya Habosi (66th) and Selestino Ravutaumada (76th), the XV of France also added a seventh and an eighth try by Charles Ollivon (73rd) and Antoine Dupont (79th), elected man of the match.
Despite the French show of force, the Blues did not have a hitch-free evening. In addition to a shower of hand faults, Romain Ntamack was injured, hit in the left shoulder. He adds to an already long list of players on the floor. On the next day, the Blues will face South Africa at the Stade de France, November 13 at 9:10 p.m.
