What we liked

• Stratosphere Beginning of the Blues

After losing by one point in the group stage to the Baby Blacks and being extremely disappointed with the result as they were convinced they were better (26-27), the Blues made a stunning start to the match in the World Cup semi-final.

After 50-22 from Hugo Rios, Joe Kerry Carrabba escaped falling between the posts (4^H). And on a ball recovered by Massa, Bosmoren maneuvered on his wing, and scored 2^H Gambini's streak ended after a brilliant acrobatic pass from Reus. 7 min: 0-14! It didn't take long for Bleuets to enter the semi-finals.

• Proper management of Malaterre yellow disease

Reduced to 14 after the penalty awarded to the New Zealanders (8th), France coped perfectly with the absence of Geoffrey Malaterre due to a yellow card. After great teamwork, Castro Ferreira crashed 3^H Tricolour test. Julian's scratching of the ground was rewarded with a penalty kick taken by Reus. One goal less, Sebastien Calvet's men scored 10-7.

Hat-trick hero No. 8 Matisse Castro Ferreira was simply brutal. The Toulouse player dominated all duels, went forward on every ball, and was impressive in terms of his sheer energy. Okay, he was punished on the ground (3 times), but he was also great near the lines, scoring 3 tries.

If Massa, Julian, Taccola, Verte, Coer Carrabba and Carbonno were so good, let us also mention the excellent game of Hugo Rios in the opening. His 50-22 entry set the tone. Very fair in animation, he signs two assists for Castro Ferreira and Musk. And against the poles the Rochelles succeeded (9/10).

What we didn't like

• Receipts under referral

In addition to the (usual) difficulties in touch (3 missed throws), the Bleuets were very shaky when it came to receiving opposing kick-offs. Every time the Baby Blacks scored a try in the first period, it was after a poor reception by the Tricolores, who were unsure of their jump block and positioning.

• Physical deterioration in the second half

The blue sores are the same since the start of the World Cup. About 50^H Minutes later, the French were physically denied. Faced with New Zealand's attacks, they continued to retreat in duels, struggled in close quarters, and conceded a host of penalties. Fortunately, the Blues were frozen in their reality, especially with a try from Verte after a interception by Querrey Carrabba.
