never really left behind in score, Blues have long believed in England can win this Saturday for the third day of the RBS 6 Nations. But they eventually tilt (9-17) mainly because of one test scored by Foden. The XV de la Rose flies to the title
Team France left his European title on the pitch at Twickenham. Walking English was too high for the Blues but volunteers were unable to resist for ninety minutes of a harsh and relentless struggle. Marc Lievremont's strategy and its staff was certainly adequate, but the players could not apply it for twenty minutes. Insufficient to stop doubting and mechanics XV de la Rose.
Penalized in the first two scrums and having lost their first touch, the French had not started the meeting with the best of ways. Leaving the ball to the English, they suffered the enemy assaults and defense tricolor lacked aggressiveness to prevent Ben Youngs and Toby Flood to dictate the pace to initiate this. Logically, Martin Johnson's men were doing in the lead with penalties in their opener.
A short-lived revolt
The Blues, though generous, were now doomed to sink slowly under the battering XV de la Rose. It was the inevitable scenario of the "crunch" before the revolt of 21 minutes. The rebellion of the tricolor mixed to obtain a penalty. A real shock for the French who took the game to their account by monopolizing the ball and being more clever defense. Indeed, they were able to anticipate their mounted to cut the transmission. Finally, the impacts lights began to leave marks on body English.
A good period of ammunition but sterile in points. At the break, Marc Lievremont's men failed to take advantage, particularly because of their inability to maintain speed after several interesting playtime And unfortunately, that face attractive and promising team France remained in the locker room at halftime.
Les Bleus lose the thread
As in the first act, the start of the second period was for the benefit of residents of Twickenham. A release Yachvili countered, a lack of labor Huget, and the English scored the first try of the match Ben Foden (42nd). A real blow for Thierry Dusautoir and his teammates were losing the thread of the meeting for ten minutes. A black hole in which Chris Ashton plunged into the in-goal without consequence tricolor on the scoreboard because of a knock-on bit clear whistled by the referee. Three points were still enrolled by Jonny Wilkinson still king in his garden in the applause.
The French then ran behind a new click. He could have intervened in the 59th minute on a kicking game skimming Francois Trinh-Duc in the in-goal opponent but Rougerie could not control the ball. Last gasp of a team in need of solution and imagination to turn the tide of the match. Nevertheless, she made a point of honor not to sink into the last ten minutes, resisting somehow offensive to English. But self-sacrifice was not enough to quell an XV de la Rose today stronger and way to steal the crown of the defeated European Day, officially stripped of their title.
