Entrée en lice réussie pour les Bleues dans la Grande Finale de Madrid. Les Françaises ont écarté les Fidji sans trembler pour leur premier match du tournoi et se positionnent idéalement pour la suite de la compétition.

L’équipe de France a commencé tambour battant et n’a jamais relâché l’étreinte. Avec six essais au compteur pour un seul encaissé, la victoire s’est dessinée tranquillement, bien que rien n’était fait à la mi-temps.

Au moment de changer de côté, la France menait en effet 10-7 grâce à deux essais (non transformés) signés Lili Dezou (3e) et Anne-Cécile Ciofani (6e) contre un essai de Kolora Lomani (7e).

C’est après la pause que les Bleues ont appuyé sur l’accélérateur. Shannon Izar creusait rapidement l’écart (8e), avant que Ciofani n’ajoute deux essais (10e, 13e) pour un triplé personnel et surtout un écart cette fois rédhibitoire pour les Fidjiennes.

Alycia Chrystiaens ajoutait en toute fin de match un ultime essai pour donner un peu plus d’ampleur à la victoire des siennes (36-7).

Les Françaises reviendront sur le terrain ce samedi avec les deux autres matchs de poule :

  • France – Irlande, à 12h.
  • Australie – France, à 15h27.

Eben Etzebeth staring at huge ban after another red card

Well… I'd say the modern Boks are not a particularly violent team but it's impossible to getaway with much violence on an international rugby field now. The Boks of yesteryear were at times brutal. Whether or not the reputation is justified, they do have that reputation amongst a lot of rugby fans.

As for point 2.. it's a tricky one, I don't want to slander a nation here. I'm no “Bok hater”, but I've gotta say some Bok fans are the most obnoxious fans I've personally encountered. Notably this didn't seem to be a problem until the Boks became the best in the world. I agree that fans from other nations can be awful too, every nation has it's fair share of d-heads but going on any rugby forum or YouTube comments is quite tedious these days owing to the legions of partisan Bok fans who jump onto every thread regardless of if it's about the Boks to tell everyone how much better the Boks are than everyone else. A Saffa once told me that SA is a troubled country and because of that the Boks are a symbol of SA victory against all odds so that's why the fans are so passionate. At least you recognise that there is an issue with some Bok fans, that's more than many are willing to concede. Whatever the reason, it's just boring is all I can tell you and I can say coming from a place of absolute honesty I encounter far, far more arrogance and obnoxious behaviour from Bok fans than any other fanbase - the kiwis were nothing like this when they were on top. So look much love to SA, I bear no hatred of ill will, I just want to have conversations about rugby without being told constantly that the Boks are the best team in the world and all coaches except Rassie are useless etc
