A quality relaunch to make their domination a reality.
Saturday evening in Lyon, the Blues were the first to strike in this final match of the Six Nations Tournament against England.
While each team had so far conceded a penalty, the Blues, very offensive since the start of the game, took advantage of a throw-in close to their 22m line to cool down the English.
François Cros first stole the ball from his opponents, served Gaël Fickou, author of the first breakthrough, before serving at the right tempo Léo Barré, author of a 40-meter race on the left side.

Barré then faked the pass towards Louis Bielle-Biarrey before serving Nolann Le Garrec who had followed perfectly in midfield.
The Racing 92 scrum half, with a support run that “the Minister of the Interior” Antoine Dupont would not have denied, only had to flatten to allow the French to lead 10 to 3. He This is Nolann Le Garrec's second try with the France team, a week after his first start and his first goal against Wales.
An edgy & scrappy opening 25 minutes in Lyon 🇫🇷
France lead 10-3 thanks to a wonder Nolann Le Garrec try.
Good to see Antoine Dupont is in attendance in Lyon.

A spectacle that Antoine Dupont undoubtedly appreciated.
Returning from a stay in the United States shared with his friend and rapper, Oli, the Toulouse native was present in the stands of Groupama Stadium this Saturday evening.
Victorious on March 4 in the Los Angeles Sevens stage with the French rugby sevens team, Dupont should make his return to XV for the shock of the 24th day of Top 14 in Bordeaux-Bègles, on March 24, two weeks before the Champions Cup round of 16 against Racing.
