Hong Kong: France’s pass 7 is close to the milestone in the half against New Zealand
The Blues competed but ended up losing to New Zealand in the semi-finals of the Hong Kong tournament. However, they could finish on the podium.
The Blues came close to making it big in the semi-finals, but ended up losing to New Zealand (7-12). They will attempt to clinch third place at 1:10pm against the loser from the other half, Fiji – Great Britain.
The New Zealanders opened the scoring through Louis Ormond in the second minute. After that, the Blues did not let go of the ball, insisting on one side and the other and exhausting New Zealand’s powerful defense. It would take a good start from Stephen Barrys Edu in the middle to allow Varian Basket to score. At the break, they are leading thanks to the conversion.
After the break, Ngahori McGarvey-Black quickly hit the highlight for his team. With less than two minutes left, Jordan Sifu scratched a valuable ball but the next touch was not guaranteed. Constant pressure from the French was necessary to provoke the opponent’s attacker. And a match point, ten seconds from the end, was lost due to a good shot and good defense from the New Zealanders. They continue their winning streak against France which stands at 8.
