75 stitches! France crushes Japan before facing New Zealand
Finally… After four years of absence due to health restrictions, the Under-20 Rugby World Cup is back. Double Defense Champion (2018 And 2019), France entered their competition very well on Saturday in Stellenbosch, In South Africa. His teammates Clermont scrum-half Baptiste Jauneau thrashed Japan (75-12), with 11 tries to 2 (doubled from Depoortere and Gazzotti, from Reus, Zenzen, Capilla, Ferté, Carbonneau, Liufau and Timo).
Les Bleuets were already leading 28-0 after 16 minutes of play, and 42-7 at the break, despite two yellow cards received by Deportie (32) and Cabella (39). With six changes in the first half, and the result obtained, the second period was much slower. But the executives managed to save some energy for Thursday’s game against New Zealand.
Sebastien Calvet’s men will conclude the group stage on July 4 against Gaul. The first group of each of the three groups and the best second best will play in the semi-finals.
Gailleton and Bielle-Biarrey are already among the adults
Even deprived of the three-quarters of Émilienne Gailleton (Pau) and Louis Billy Piari (Union Bordeaux Biggles), kept in preparation for the “big” World Cup with the fifteenth for France, the young tricolores are among the big favorites for succession.
Especially since they can count on Baby Blacks boosting a very solid second line from Perpignan Posolo Tuilagi (1.92m, 145kg), a time when he was banned in the country due to a visa problem and could not arrive in South Africa until Friday.
