“I didn’t want us to film. There are intimate moments, I prefer that it stays between us.” Fabien Galthié had warned on Sunday, at a press conference: his post-match speech was not going to become public. On the other hand, the episode of the FFR series “Destin Mêlés” revealed images of half-time between France and South Africa on Tuesday evening. We notably see Antoine Dupont speaking in the locker room.

Incredible All Blacks Triumph in Epic Ireland-New Zealand Clash at 2023 World Cup

Unbreathable, magical, exceptional… There is no shortage of adjectives at the end of this Ireland-New Zealand clash won by the All Blacks (24-28) at the Stade de France. In a boxing fight that will remain engraved in the history of the World Cup, the New Zealanders delivered a major performance to validate their ticket to the semi-final of the 2023 World Cup. The first world nation, the XV of Clover, gives everything but doesn’t break his glass ceiling. Ian Foster’s men face Argentina in the semi-final.
Pain and tears. This is what we saw on the faces of the valiant Irish at the final whistle, the siren having already sounded for several minutes. After 38 minutes of play, and 5 minutes 15 minutes of pounding in the All Blacks’ 22m, Andy Farrell’s men conceded a final penalty. The most important and cruelest at the end of the suspense, on a scratch from the eternal Sam Whitelock who came to release his selection, whose level we still doubted a few weeks ago.

A boxing match
These All Blacks, everyone must fear them. Authors of an XXL performance, Ian Foster’s men did everything. And it is first and foremost their victory rather than Ireland’s defeat. Ideally back in the match, also following an endless sequence facing the green wall, Sam Cane’s teammates took the lead thanks to the foot of Mo’unga (8th). Not the only shot from the opener, since it was he who launched a 30m ride on a combination before slipping an offering to Will Jordan (53rd) at the best moment for the Blacks.
Without a clear red thread, the meeting mainly boils down to a boxing match where the Irish and New Zealanders went blow for blow. Defensively, the Blacks were excellent at scratching and united once morest the endless attacks of their opponents. But there were also uppercuts coming from the attack, like the spectacular try on the wing of third row Ardie Savea (33rd), copying his winger Fainga’anuku (19th) a little earlier. On the Irish side, Bundee Aki (27th) on a double hook, then Gibson Park as a trickster (39th) came to showcase their individual talent to exploit the slightest flaws. A wink for these two natives of New Zealand.

The 64th minute was not the winning turning point for Ireland
Bold, like the numerous penalties chosen by the selection instead of taking points, the Irish never gave up. Determined returns from the locker room, they were the ones who regained possession of the ball. Domination rewarded by a penalty try on a group entering following a touch (64th), one of the only ways to break the black wall, but also by the yellow card of Codie Taylor. Everything suggested, 16 minutes from the end and one point behind their opponents (24-25), that Andy Farrell’s men had done the hardest part.
Instead, the All Blacks did it once more to make people forget that they were one less. Taking advantage of the indisciplinarity linked to the fatigue of the world’s leading nation, Jordie Barrett’s teammates, precious on a last penalty (69th), took a little breather. Three minutes later, the center came back to slip his hand under the ball carried by Kelleher and therefore not awarded as a try. At the end, the All Blacks resisted, despite the Irish courage. An irresistible match and a more than symbolic victory for New Zealand. They arrive in the semi-final by knocking down those we thought were the best.
Is Ireland cursed?

Antoine Dupont Returns Stronger: From Injury to World Cup Quarter-Finals
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief

Black helmet screwed to his skull, Antoine Dupont participated (almost) normally in the training of the French fifteen this Wednesday followingnoon in Rueil-Malmaison, four days before the World Cup quarter-final once morest South Africa . The scrum half and captain of the Blues, aligned with the very likely starters, was visibly in great shape three weeks following his maxillo-zygomatic fracture contracted once morest Namibia, even if the contacts were not very intense concerning him at the Parc stadium .
“Antoine is an intelligent and sensible person. If he says he can play once more, it’s because he is at full capacity.”
“Antoine is doing very well,” William Servat, co-coach of the forwards, said a few minutes later at a press conference at Roland-Garros. He was always involved even when he was on a rest period since obviously he needed to recover a little at home. And even over this period, he remained involved in the team’s strategic and technical choices with the small developments and things that we put in place in the game. He remained involved from start to finish even from a distance. And today, Antoine is even more concerned since he has returned with us and he participates very actively in all the training, all the videos and everything that simply makes up the game of the France team. »
Against the Boks, the fight promises to be immense physically. Even more for Dupont perhaps. But among the Blues, we will not change anything in the defensive system. “Antoine has been one of the team’s biggest defenders for a number of years,” continues Servat. He is at 100% capacity and there is no reason to change anything. »
Perhaps, however, it will be necessary to protect him a little more on the field if the South Africans ever decide to target him… And for that, Dupont will be able to count on his elements in the third line. Don’t touch my number 9! “His injury is to the head and in rugby if you touch the head, it’s a red card,” recalls Grégory Alldritt. They won’t do anything either. He saw his surgeon recently who gave him the green light. Antoine is an intelligent and sensible person. If he says he can play once more, it’s because he is at full capacity. »
