For the second day of the 6 Nations Tournament, Saturday February 11, Ireland took the date a few months before the World Cup, dropping the 15 tricolor for the first time after 14 straight wins. Summary of an intense match.
Antoine Dupont may postpone the inevitable, France lost for the first time in a year and a half, Saturday February 11. Ireland have confirmed their status as the best team in the world on the pitch. Keenan first pierces the blue curtain, the first burst of a half-time of rare intensity. France, however, is not impressed.
The end of a series of 14 games without defeat
But hardly time to breathe that the Irish are back. Ball in the wing, the opportunity is too good. Damien Penaud throws himself, Lowe flattens, and it’s validated – even if, in slow motion, the Irish player seems to have set foot in touch. Despite appearances, it is the French who are jostled. Uini Atonio, 147 kg, is excluded ten minutes for a dangerous tackle. The Greens then add a third try. The Blues will never come back in front. It’s the end of a 14-game unbeaten streak. “The best team won“, conceded at the end of the meeting Fabien Galthié, the coach of the XV of France.
