The French XV is doing damage… in Ligue 1!
Thursday, the XV of France played its second World Cup match against Uruguay. Fabien Galthié’s men were able to count on the unwavering support of the supporters present in the Pierre Mauroy stadium in Lille. The numerous scrums got the better of the Lille pitch, to the great dismay of a LOSC player.
A week after igniting the Stade de France by dropping the All Blacksthe XV of France disposed of l’Uruguay not without difficulty Thursday at Lille. Penalized several times, the players of Fabien Galthié completed 22 scrums. “ It’s fortunate to have won this match despite that. Discipline, I thought we were good, that we had done a lot of work on that but today we were undisciplined. It’s really a shame. I think we were a little relaxed considering the opponent this evening », deplored Cameron Woki after the meeting. And these 22 scrums did not spare the stadium pitch Pierre Mauroy.
