France-New Zealand: "Never seen in the history of French rugby", rejoices Abdelatif Benazzi

“Spending 40 points to the All Blacks, what a party!

Abdelatif Benazzi is still jubilant when he picks up his phone shortly after the final whistle.

Like all of France in rugby, the former second line and former captain (78 selections) thrilled in front of the superb success (40-25) of the Blues over New Zealand.

And hopes to see them lastingly chain such services.

How do you analyze this victory for the Blues?

ABDELATIF BENAZZI.

It's a benchmark match for this team.

Everyone said she was playing super well, but a very big night was missing, and that was D-Day. To beat the Blacks like this two years before the World Cup at home, you make an impression.

We can say that New Zealand has already been stronger and that we take it at the end of the tour, but it's still the All Blacks and it is not trivial to spend the first period in their camp.

It is unheard of in the history of French rugby with this success by fifteen points.

There, the Blues took a date for the World Cup in 2023.

What made this match win at the XV of France?

The cohesion between the forwards and the three-quarters, our ability to improve the balls and remain patient.

I really liked the involvement of our defense.

The future is full of promise for this team.

Now, the World Cup is not tomorrow, there will be other big teams and we will have to condition ourselves for a competition where everyone will be ready.

This performance should not be just an achievement, but it is an exceptional working base for the staff.

France distinguished itself with a superb recovery from Ntamack on the hour mark when it was in difficulty ...

It was wonderful.

I thought they were going to score another try at the end of the world, like in 1994. What marks about this action is the instinct, the technical quality of our players and also the freedom they have which they have. allows you to launch such actions.

It's why we love this game, it's why we love watching France ... 🤩 # FRAvNZL #AutumnNationsSeries pic.twitter.com/TV6bQFLf4O

Were you afraid for the Blues when they took three tries at the start of the second half?

It was a logical drop in terms of the energy expenditure of the first period.

The main thing is that we have succeeded in straightening the bar.

We did not feel this team doubt.
