Rugby: the French XV takes its revenge on South Africa after a spectacular match

The Blues can exult. Friday, November 13, they finally warded off fate against their bête noire, South Africa, the reigning double world champion. On videos shared on social networks, we can see the players expressing their joy even in the locker room. A huge victory which also thrilled all those who came to admire them at the Stade de France. "Come on French! Come on, we won! Come on French, we won!" fans sing after the match. One spectator confided: “It’s magnificent, an exceptional memory”, another added: “To see a match like that with so much atmosphere, so many people, it’s magnificent”.

A victory that made the Stade de France vibrate

The XV of France has defied all predictions. The team was said to be decimated by injuries. But from the first half, the XV of France appeared to be dominant. Three tries scored in just a quarter of an hour. The fight is tough. The fierce shocks. But faced with adversity, the Blues did not give in and resisted until the end. Like the last action of Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who throws himself at the ball, then Antoine Dupont takes charge of delivering the entire stadium.

“Just seeing the atmosphere in the stadium, the public who were behind us, from the Marseillaise, we felt carried away. And I think that today, everyone who was present at the stadium and even in front of their screen is proud to be French, obviously, including us, in the middle of the field,” explains the captain of the French team.

With this success, the Blues show that we must always count on them, one year to the day of the final of the next World Cup.
