Rugby World Cup 2023 in FrancedossierThe Blues’ match turned into a demonstration this Thursday, September 21 in Marseille, with a record score. The early exit of Antoine Dupont after a shock is the only downside.
The demonstration was announced, it happened. The XV of France scattered Namibia (96-0) this Thursday, September 21 in Marseille, for its third group match of the Rugby World Cup. The Blues passed a total of 14 tries, including 12 converted (and a penalty try), to their opponents in the evening, who almost never threatened to score a single point. The French rugby team has never scored so many points in a single match.
The only downside: the early exit of Antoine Dupont (45th minute) after catching the Namibian captain, Johan Deysel, in the face. The Frenchman immediately went to the hospital to find out more about the condition of his possibly fractured cheekbone. The action was punished with a red card and Namibia played almost the entire second half with 14 men. They didn’t need that.
At half-time, mass was already widely said. The Blues returned to the locker room with eight tries, seven of which were converted by Thomas Ramos. Which makes 54 points. In front ? Nothing, except courage and self-sacrifice.
Before this match, the French Uruguay team supposedly more affordable.
