Spring 3.5
.
For his first selection, the young rear of Racing, preferred to Jaminet for his ability to revive, completely went through in the first half.

A bad placement on the first, where he does not cover his winger Damian Penaud.
On the second, he is embarked by the feint of Leitch, to the point of not even tackling (39th).
A forward that allows the Japanese to maintain the pressure (49th).
A foot game too often without danger.

Commits a horrible forward on receiving the return shot from the Japanese after Couilloud's try.
Attempts a useless recovery from his in-goal which gives a last scare to the tricolor camp in the 77th minute.
