What a score. The France team had a spectacular debut on Saturday in the 2023 edition of the Under-20 Rugby World Cup, crushing Japan (75-12), in Stellenbosch (South Africa).
Perhaps inspired by the hillsides of vines in this wine-growing region, the Blueberries have properly pressed completely overwhelmed Japanese people to carry out a fruitful harvest of trials (eleven in total).

At the end of the fatigue, the double for the Bleuets?
06/22/2019 At 15:16
The double defending champions got off to a thunderous start to the match, with a try scored in the 2nd minute by UBB center Nicolas Depoortère and converted by the perfect kick from La Rochelle fly-half Hugo Reus.
He took advantage of the good work of his scrum to go for his own try in the 7th. Les Bleuets were leading 21-0 after ten minutes, following a try from Grenoble’s Marko Gazzotti.
Racing 92 third row Noa Zinzen also scored a try five minutes later, quickly securing the attacking bonus, crucial for qualifying in the event of second place in this group A which also includes New Zealand and Wales.
A time at 13
Japan saved the honor thanks to a try from Kosho Muto in the 28th minute but France, whose game was beaten by Baptiste Jauneau, replied immediately through the intermediary of Bayonnais Esteban Capilla.
Referee Ollie Davidson, the first woman to officiate in a U20 World Cup match, then gave Nicolas Depoortère a yellow card, author of a dangerous tackle.
At fourteen, Marko Gazzotti signed his second power test. Esteban Capilla received a yellow, leaving his partners at 13 just before halftime, concluded with the score of 42-7. Indiscipline will have to be corrected, on the Bleuets side.
Tuilagi expected for the “Baby Blacks”
As soon as the resumption, the Briviste Mathis Ferté further worsened the score then, back on the field, Deporteere scored his second try. Andy Timo, the nugget of Massy, closed after a superb race the offensive festival of the French. They will face the “Baby Blacks” on Thursday, before meeting the Welsh on July 4.
Captain Lenni Nouchi’s teammates will be able to count for these two meetings on the second line of Perpignan Posolo Tuilagi, who joined South Africa late due to a visa problem.
