Bosulu Tuilagi, Health March

In his first match with the France U-20 team at this World Cup, he toured the USA’s second line Perpignan, marking his team’s victory over the Baby Blacks (35-14). Two tries and 11 storming and gaining 85 metres, Bosulu Tuilagi, with exceptional size (1.92m and 150kg), moved everything in his path, both in attack and defense. He was unable to join the group in time to start the competition due to a visa issue, he is of Samoan descent, and does not yet hold his French passport. It will be necessary to confirm on Tuesday against Welsh, but the preview sample is more than encouraging.

France’s fifteenth is stronger than ever

How not to be pleased with the performance of blueberries! They showed a lot of heart, and a lot of willingness to face adversity that the Baby Blacks delivered. The famous two-minute haka was the subject of mental preparation by the U20 staff. The latter worked because it only took seven minutes for the Bleuets to score the first try of the match. What is certain is that the sacred unit that has been vaunted since the start of the tournament has not been oversold.

Baby Blacks didn’t have any great pride

This defeat will inevitably get people talking in New Zealand. The Baby Blacks, used to dominating in this age group, were not reassured after narrowly beating the Welsh 27 to 26. They were expected to be more motivated than ever, especially against the double title supporters. That was not the case. They worried the French at most between 50 and 65. Was wondering if the New Zealanders would score points in the encounter, before their first points (58)! Such a performance was unprecedented. Another highlight is that they rejected two attempts. They will have to fight against Japan in the last pool match.

Small crossing of the Tricolores Desert

We would be perfect, we would have loved to have seen the full 80 minutes for this French team. Between the 50th and 65th minutes of play, the crystal team was on its knees. Although they showed remarkably selfless in the face of opposing attacks, they concentrated all their slip-ups in these fifteen minutes. They received two yellow cards (Jauneau and Costes, 52nd and then 57th). They also saw an opposition try denied (56th), a penalty awarded to the Baby Blacks (58th) and an in-game try (59th). But, after such a stormy period of time, the France XV recovered beautifully by scoring a try two minutes into the storm.
