00:00But you've found your friends from France. How are they? How do you find them?
00:05Are we finally going to see a very serious match from the start?
00:08I think it's the first thing to do.
00:11Because the Irish, as we saw in their last match,
00:14every time we do a first quarter of an hour, they're dazzled.
00:17So if we're not there in the first quarter of an hour, we're going to have problems afterwards.
00:20So we have to make a very, very good start, but I have confidence.
00:23They seem very focused, very sure of themselves.
00:26So I hope and I'm sure we'll get through and we'll find ourselves in the semifinals.
00:29No problem. The atmosphere is good. Everything is rolling for the 15th of France before this match.
00:32Everything is rolling, everything is rolling. Albert Cigania, Fabien Galtier have arrived.
00:35They are training the group above without any problem.
00:38No, no, there it's gone again.
00:40Today, of course, it's the trap match for us, because we're in the favourites.
00:43But I have confidence and the whole group has confidence.
00:46So, compared to the composition of the 15th of France, which had met Scotland,
00:50not a lot of change, apart from, of course, the two injured.
00:55Composition of this 15th of France, which will meet in a few minutes now,
01:00the team of Ireland in the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Patrick Thillet.
01:24Abdellatif Benazie, on the wing of the third line, of the SUH1.
01:27Laurent Cabane, of the Racing Club de France, also third line.
01:31Number 8, Marc Session, who follows him to Philippe Benetton.
01:36Aubin Weber, who replaces Guy Acossi-BĂ©ryl, injured.
01:39Christophe Desloo, at the opening, also from the Stade Toulousain.
01:43Philippe Saint-André, the captain of the 15th of France, on the left wing.
01:47Thierry Lacroix, the scorer of the 15th of France.
01:51Philippe Sella, who will celebrate his 109th selection, and it's not over.
01:55Emile Ntamat, the hero of the match France-Scotland, on the right wing.
02:00Sadourni, at the back, conductor, uncertain.
02:04Pierre Berbizier.
02:08About this team of Ireland, Philippe Saint-André made a confession to our friend François Boudinac,
02:13and he told him, we're going to have to deal with 15 pitbulls in green.
02:18And it's true that the Irish always have to be careful in the big occasions.
02:21We remember, Patrick Thillet, hello, Eric, and also Jean-Claude,
02:25we remember this famous semi-final in 1991, against the Australians.
02:30It was close that the Australians were eliminated.
02:33Yes, and the Australians who were then declared world champions,
02:36that is to say, the value of this team.
02:37Well, until the end, until the last second, until a try by Leinhardt,
02:41it was Ireland who qualified for the next round.
02:44It's true that Guy Acossé-Berry was talking about a trap match,
02:47but that's exactly what we need to talk about.
02:50Because the Irish really manage their matches in a different way than the big teams,
02:54namely that they throw everything they have into the opening battle.
02:57They try to have a small advantage on the scoreboard,
03:00and they cling like pitbulls to this advantage.
03:03And sometimes it works.
03:04Eric, they qualified against Wales, who were also favourites.
03:07Yes, Ireland has shown a lot of quality, desire, enthusiasm.
03:11As Guy said earlier, a very difficult match.
03:14It's very different from the Five Nations Tournament,
03:17because the loser packs his bags and gets on the plane on Monday.
03:21So we still have to hope to stay 15 more days,
03:23but we have confidence in the French team.
03:26Thank you, my little Patrick.
03:28We'll see you all three for the kick-off of this quarter-final match
03:33of the Rugby World Cup between France and Ireland in a very short moment.
03:37We'll see you after this ad break.
03:40In a few minutes, in about five minutes,
03:43the French rugby team will face Ireland.
03:46A match that certainly counts now
03:48for the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup.
03:52The French, to get to these quarter-finals,
03:55eliminated Scotland, you remember this match too,
03:58the Tonga team and the Ivory Coast,
04:00and the players of the Irish team were beaten by New Zealand.
04:06But on the other hand, you see the French players
04:08penetrating here in the tunnel that will bring them to the lawn.
04:12So the players of Ireland were beaten by New Zealand,
04:15but they also beat Japan and especially Wales.
04:19I will have the pleasure of commenting on this match
04:22in the company of Eric Blanc for the technical part of the game,
04:25also with Jean-Claude Hichet.
04:27We will have regular interventions, as usual,
04:30from the coach of the French team, Pierre Berbizier.
04:33And then with you, Eric Blanc, news.
04:35I was going to say front, maybe not front,
04:36but news from the French team,
04:37since you have the privilege of being able to live with them.
04:39So how is it going?
04:40Well, they are very good right now.
04:42I think the French team has a lot of confidence.
04:44What they want is to win, of course,
04:46to go to the semi-finals and come back to this stadium next week,
04:49surely against South Africa,
04:51but to play a good match psychologically
04:54to enter full-time in this great semi-final.
04:56But this afternoon, Ireland, of course,
04:59is going to sell its skin,
05:01and the match is going to be very difficult.
05:03The referee of the match will be Mr. Morrison.
05:06He is an Englishman.
05:07Jean-Claude, I asked you to investigate a little bit about him.
05:10So that you were allowed to know your investigations,
05:14while we have here your brother-in-law, Frank BĂ©del.
05:16Be happy, Frank BĂ©del.
05:17The brother-in-law of Eric.
05:18He says hello to the family.
05:19That's nice.
05:20So the investigation has paid off.
05:22So Mr. Morrison exists.
05:23I met him.
05:24He is English.
05:25We know him well, by the way.
05:26He is refereeing a dozen matches
05:27for the World Cup and the Five Nations Tournament.
05:29He is 37 years old.
05:30And I still have some concerns,
05:32because it would seem that Mr. Morrison
05:34would be decided in Seville
05:35if he ever showed any stubbornness
05:38or any brutality committed here or there.
05:40Which is quite normal.
05:41We have passed the message, of course,
05:42to the French team,
05:43and we hope that there will be no problems on this side.
05:45He will be assisted by Mr. Lander,
05:47who is English too, as a touch referee,
05:49and by Mr. Yann Rogers,
05:51a very young and excellent referee, South African.
05:54So here you have the bench of substitutes,
05:56with BénézÚche,
05:57with the players of the Irish team
06:00who enter the King's Park of Durban,
06:05with Belle here, Funcher,
06:07Auchy and the French,
06:09with the captain of the French team,
06:12Philippe Sainte-Andrée, at their head.
06:14Two words, Eric Blanc,
06:15now on the conditions of the game.
06:17The conditions are good.
06:18A very nice sun.
06:19Very little wind,
06:20except that it blows in the width,
06:22so it's a little bit more complicated for the goalkeepers,
06:24but it's perfect.
06:26No problem.
06:27So we are now going to watch the hymns
06:31of this match between France in blue jersey
06:35and Ireland in green jersey,
06:37with here the goalkeeper of the Irish team,
06:39Terry Kingston,
06:41who seems to me particularly determined,
06:44like all the players of the Irish team.
06:46Mr. Morrison asks the players
06:48to want to get in place,
06:51with the goalkeepers who are also there.
06:54About 25,000 people to attend this meeting
06:57in a stadium that can accommodate
06:59about 60,000 spectators.
07:01A magnificent stadium, by the way.
07:03We are happy to live rugby matches
07:05in such facilities.
07:09And in a few seconds, the hymns.
07:13I point out to you,
07:14before the hymns are interpreted,
07:17that there are a lot of French supporters
07:19who came here to Durban.
07:21It is from now on, I have the impression,
07:23that the supporters arrive.
08:20Albert Siganian here in the foreground,
08:22who took his place on the bench of the substitutes
08:25after the injury of Philippe Benetton.
09:49I point out to you that during the last match
09:52of the Tour of the Nations,
09:54the French went to play in Dublin,
09:56while you have here on the screen
09:58the composition of the French team,
10:00that the French won on the score
10:02from 25 to 7.
10:04But no match in rugby, you know,
10:06and certainly not in the World Cup,
10:08resembles the composition of the French team
10:10with a single change,
10:12the replacement of Armari,
10:14apart from the injury, of course.
10:16Armari, who took the position
10:19of Laurent Benezes,
10:21that you saw earlier, I believe,
10:23at the time of the hymns.
10:25The composition of the Irish team,
10:27also in relation to the formation
10:29that was imposed against Wales,
10:31there is a single change.
10:33It is not in the front row this time,
10:35but it is in three quarters,
10:37at the post of the left wing.
10:39It is Ouma Oni who took the place of Wallace.
10:41I don't know why the Irish selectors
10:43made this choice,
10:45because Wallace had made
10:47the selection of the French players
10:49Menel, Delegue, Galtier, Sigania,
10:51Gallard and Benezes.
10:55And the send-off of this meeting
10:57will be given by the French players,
10:59and in particular by Christophe Desloo,
11:01who is on the line of the 50 meters,
11:03who is preparing his ball.
11:05You know that,
11:07because of the television regulations
11:09and the great principles of television,
11:11the send-off is given
11:13at a very precise time.
11:15We are waiting.
11:17It is a little bit the television
11:19that controls, but not for everything.
11:21Don't worry, rugby is still
11:23this sport that we all love.
11:25But it is true that when there are
11:27big demonstrations like this,
11:29watched by billions of viewers,
11:31it must be perfectly organized.
11:33And this match between France and Ireland
11:35will be able to start.
11:37I'm a little afraid, Eric,
11:39that the French players,
11:41the players of Ireland,
11:43will not be able to start
11:45because it is about 23-24 degrees.
11:47It is true that it is very beautiful
11:49in Durban. In Pretoria,
11:51it is still the same conditions.
11:53We go down, however,
11:55at sea level.
11:57I think that the French team
11:59can benefit from this preparation
12:01during the first three weeks.
12:03Yes, and also from the preparation
12:05in Fort-Romeu and Saint-Larys
12:07under the eyes of Isabelle Myrkel.
12:09Here is the commitment for the French.
12:11The first line of the 10 meters
12:13during the shot is a melee
12:15in the middle of the field.
12:17Ball, Ireland.
12:19Introduction by the half-melee
12:21Hogan.
12:23Hoshi, the back,
12:25comes in the closed side,
12:27left side,
12:29and the two centers are on the right.
12:31We will do a little bit
12:33the New Zealand method,
12:35maybe by advancing and giving a kick
12:37to bring the game far
12:39Yes, it seems to be going well.
12:41French push.
12:43We can imagine that the Irish
12:45will have some difficulties.
12:47This time, the opposite happened
12:49against Galway. Bad pass
12:51from Hoshi for Hogan.
12:53There was a forward.
12:55The referee did not whistle.
12:57He may leave the advantage
12:59to the French team with
13:01Jean-Luc Sadourni,
13:03who pushed in touch.
13:05I think that Jean-Claude
13:07had to keep the ball.
13:09He was a little embarrassed
13:11because there were a lot of players.
13:13A complete touch.
13:15Francis, who is second line,
13:17plays at the bottom of the alignment.
13:19We noticed that from time to time
13:21they asked him, but now
13:23I think they will make the number 2 jump.
13:25The jumper 2.
13:27At the bottom of the touch,
13:29Francis, who was pushed.
13:31Rebound by McGride, number 7.
13:33A foul.
13:35Irish jumper. Penalty against France.
13:37Helwood will try this penalty.
13:39From 30 meters
13:41to the left of the poles.
13:43I have the impression that there is
13:45a little wind.
13:47There is wind. It is through.
13:49It is not in the length of the field.
13:51I do not think it will be decisive
13:53in the future.
13:55We will see the first attempts
13:57to get an idea.
13:59We try this kick
14:01normally.
14:03We have time.
14:05Helwood has problems.
14:07He does not want to play with a tee.
14:09He wants to play with sand.
14:11The new regulation of the Dumas Noir.
14:13The Dumas Noir.
14:15Our young president, Yvan Rousset.
14:17It is necessary to launch the young.
14:19The penalties, the transformations
14:21in the Dumas Noir next year
14:23will be tried in drop goal to save time.
14:25This is a good idea.
14:27It is a good initiative.
14:29We will see what it gives.
14:31We just saw the mistake
14:33that allowed the Irish team
14:35to get this penalty.
14:37Tried by Helwood.
14:39You see the time we lose.
14:41It's been two minutes
14:43that the game has stopped.
14:45Patrick, it suits us in racing
14:47because we do not have many goalkeepers.
14:49You made the regulation for you.
14:51You do not have to tell me.
14:53We could have started with that.
14:55Helwood.
14:57He is on his right foot.
14:59For this penalty.
15:01He will find a way to open the score.
15:03It's gone.
15:05It passes between the posts
15:07with the opening of the score
15:09for the Irish team.
15:113 for the Irish.
15:130 for France.
15:15We have been playing for 3 minutes
15:17here in Durban.
15:19Small advantage for the Irish.
15:21This is the Irish system.
15:23They throw all their strength
15:25in the battle to enter.
15:27We have to preserve this advantage
15:29with a ball taken by Fletcher.
15:31The number 4.
15:33Ball taken by Marc Session.
15:35Who has time to turn around.
15:37Who is caught by Corkery.
15:39Does he have time to release this ball?
15:41I think there is a player
15:43who will end up without shorts.
15:45The price of places will increase.
15:47Mr. Morrison.
15:49It's Jones who is without shorts.
15:51He's going to be on TV.
15:53The beginning of his glory.
15:55An introduction of France
15:57on the melee that will follow.
15:59Why?
16:01Because originally there was
16:03a mistake of the Irish hand
16:05that was not taken advantage of
16:07by France.
16:09Very good melee.
16:11I think we're going to make the effort
16:13and we're going to try to play
16:15around the melee in the first half.
16:17Sant-Jones, the French pack.
16:19Ball for Delo.
16:21It's there.
16:23It's taken.
16:25But it's very well played.
16:27We trust an attack line.
16:29A jump.
16:31Back interspersed.
16:33We find a small touch.
16:35But it's very good for the players
16:37behind because they need to
16:39get into the game quickly
16:41and make a few passes.
16:43Touch.
16:45I think this is our first touch
16:47for France with a throw
16:49by Jean-Michel Gonzalez.
16:51Ball for Robert Weber.
16:53It seems to me that there is offside.
16:55So yes, undoubtedly,
16:57if there is no offside this time,
16:59there will never be offside.
17:01Penalty for France, indisputable.
17:03Penalty that seems to me
17:05quite in the lines of Thierry Lacroix.
17:07Since he is just practically
17:09in front of the post,
17:1120 meters from the posts.
17:13And Mr. Morrison is discussing
17:15with Philippe Saint-André
17:17that the French will try
17:19to allow the French team
17:21to return to the posts.
17:23Since the 3rd minute,
17:25the French have led 3-0.
17:27A penalty from Ellwood.
17:29Yes, I think this penalty,
17:31this Irish fault,
17:33is significant of a lack
17:35of confidence of the Irish.
17:37Indeed, the Irish player
17:39who was taken at fault
17:41deliberately committed
17:43the obstruction on the French.
17:45This proved that the Irish
17:47kept the ball,
17:49he did not deviate
17:51as we usually do
17:53to launch a forward.
17:55And he kept the ball,
17:57he provoked a very good group
17:59that gives Lacroix the possibility
18:01to return to the score.
18:03I have the impression
18:05that Thierry still has
18:07the sun in his eyes.
18:09Right foot, boom,
18:11the ball rises
18:13and passes between the bars,
18:15it's hot in the heart.
18:17After 7 minutes of play,
18:19as you can read on your screen.
18:21So commitment now
18:23for the Irish by Ellwood.
18:25The half-opening
18:27of the Irish team
18:29who is the director of sales
18:33in a liquor store.
18:35Very good conquest of Olivier Merle.
18:37Aubin Weber, here we jump,
18:39the ball for Philippe Cella.
18:41Still the ball for the French,
18:43small side, Christophe Delo
18:45with Emile Tamax.
18:47Ball lost on the road,
18:49Louis Armari must quickly
18:51touch.
18:53A mistake of hand at the start,
18:55Patrick, a French forward,
18:57it will be a melee for the Irish.
19:03Flat defense of the French back lines
19:05with Philippe Saint-Antoine
19:07at the height of the centers.
19:09Ball in the feet of John,
19:11the first lines have risen.
19:13Mr. Morrison does not agree
19:15because he finds that the first lines
19:17have risen prematurely.
19:19I have the impression
19:21that the Irish will play
19:23very high in the air
19:25to put a pressing
19:27and doubt the French team.
19:29The French have just turned the melee
19:31to bother a little.
19:33He completely missed his kick,
19:35Ellwood.
19:37Ball taken back by the French.
19:39The advantage is French, yes.
19:41Since his 22 meters,
19:43foot kick by Christophe Delo.
19:45What is he going to do, Mr. Morrison?
19:47He leaves the touch.
19:49Here is Christophe Delo.
19:51From the stadium of Toulouse.
19:53Yet Jean-Claude, there is not so much
19:55advantage for the French team.
19:57Could not the referee whistle
19:59this forward?
20:01Absolutely, we crossed the disadvantage
20:03at the kick, but we did not really
20:05play the ball in a positive way.
20:07We are not the replacers of the French team.
20:09Don't worry.
20:11Francis has taken back.
20:13They will make the jumper jump
20:15in the middle of alignment.
20:17You just saw Francis.
20:19You have behind him Fletcher
20:21and Johns too.
20:23They are the three Irish jumpers.
20:25There are not many.
20:27They are very strong.
20:29Ball for Ellwood,
20:31who now returns on the number 12,
20:33Bell, who escaped Abdelbenazie.
20:35They are now in the middle of alignment.
20:37They try to cross the disadvantage
20:39quickly by their three jumpers
20:41and regain the support of the forwards.
20:43A small fault of hand at the arrival.
20:45It does not bother us.
20:47Touch to four of the French,
20:49very interesting.
20:51Olivier Maire behind Delo,
20:53with Marc Session behind Philippe Sella.
20:55I think we will use them
20:57if we keep the ball.
20:59Olivier Roumat in the foreground.
21:01Abdelbenazie, who now leaves
21:03with Mr. Morrison.
21:05Yes, Mr. Morrison who apologizes.
21:07It's a shame.
21:09Olivier Merle came up to this group
21:11to put a little saucer.
21:13He took the ball,
21:15Olivier Merle.
21:17We look for a code.
21:19A closed side, very beautiful.
21:21Directly in the arms of Goegan.
21:23It now starts again
21:25by the number 6, Corkery.
21:27Ball for the Irish.
21:29Elwood.
21:31The touch is found.
21:33No, the ball will go there.
21:35It's badly played.
21:37It was well started,
21:39but it's badly finished.
21:41It's a shame.
21:43There was a good 4 against 3 in the closed.
21:45I think Aubin must give
21:47at the back.
21:49It's a small fault
21:51at the beginning of the match
21:53because we have a little fear
21:55in the belly.
21:57We try to go and play
21:59a little tight.
22:01Usually, they free themselves completely.
22:03They are a little scared.
22:05It was a little the case against Goegan.
22:07It's still the case.
22:09Roumat just took a great ball
22:11on this pass.
22:13They are a little stuck.
22:15Thierry Dacroix,
22:17despite the load of Corkery,
22:19manages to find a touch on the line
22:21of 40 meters.
22:23Very beautiful pass
22:25by Christophe Delos.
22:27Touch with a throw
22:29of the goalkeeper Kingston.
22:31The touch for who?
22:33For Lolo Cabane.
22:35Great Lolo.
22:37Watch out.
22:41You saw perfectly
22:43Patrick.
22:45While we were winning, the ball was released
22:47in our camp.
22:49Bad reflexes.
22:51We are penalized.
22:53I feel a very good Lolo Cabane
22:55who still manages to win
22:57against Francis,
22:59who has a second line.
23:01He leaves, unfortunately,
23:03a fault behind.
23:05What is Elwood going to do?
23:07A little candle or the touch?
23:09A little key.
23:11He plays in the back of Philippe Saint-André.
23:13Watch out, he is alone.
23:15How did we get there?
23:17It's very well played by Elwood.
23:19He saw the dead angle
23:21in the back of Philippe Saint-André
23:23who will benefit from the touch.
23:27They entered the camp of the French
23:29and the Irish.
23:31They are hyper-realistic.
23:33These zones animated by the famous
23:35fighting spirit.
23:37Kingston.
23:43A little shot.
23:45The goalkeeper of the Irish team.
23:47Kingston.
23:49The ball for Lolo Cabane.
23:51He went to get the ball
23:53in the alignment of the Irish.
23:55And it's playing now
23:57Delo Lacroix.
23:59A little kick from Thierry Lacroix.
24:01Will Oshie get the ball?
24:03Yes, that's what's done.
24:05Oshie who tries to leave alone.
24:07He will give the ball to the French.
24:09Jean-Luc Sadourni.
24:11We will try to play the ball.
24:13But no.
24:15I think Sadourni has been pushed into the touch.
24:17The ball for the Irish on this touch.
24:19Oshie who hit a little kick
24:21to follow for himself along the line of touch.
24:23And he recovers Kingston
24:25at the launch. Complete touch.
24:2712 minutes of play.
24:29In the first half, 3-3 between the Irish
24:31and France.
24:35Fletcher there.
24:37The ball taken by the Irish
24:39and by the French too.
24:41The Irish have a big problem on the touch.
24:43Which is not for us to displease.
24:45Christophe Delo inside for who?
24:47Lost by the French.
24:49There is an advantage to the Irish team
24:51with Francis who gave Haugan.
24:53Haugan for Moline.
24:55Moline for Mahony.
24:57Mahony taken by Session.
24:59Taken by two French.
25:01You have to release the ball.
25:03Yes, penalty.
25:05For a position out of play
25:07of the French number 10.
25:09Christophe Delo.
25:11Christophe Delo that Mr. Morrison accuses
25:13to have first kept the ball
25:15Penalty.
25:17I'm going to ask
25:19Pierre Berbizier
25:21if he hears me.
25:23Pierre, what do you think
25:25of these first 13 minutes of play?
25:27I think the French team
25:29forgets to go to the opponent.
25:31The Irish know perfectly
25:33occupy our field.
25:35From there, they put us at fault
25:37and are in position to take the score.
25:39There are still important points
25:41and pleasant.
25:43The touch works well.
25:45Indeed, our melee
25:47seems so solid.
25:49We have good bases of conquest.
25:51It would be necessary to add an occupation
25:53of the field to put under pressure
25:55this Irish team.
25:57I hope the players of the French team
25:59will hear you
26:01and that they will temper Eric Elwood
26:03who succeeded 100%
26:05since he succeeded his first kick
26:07and has had so far only one attempt.
26:09He has been at 54% as you see
26:11It's average.
26:13The good stats
26:15are 60%
26:17and sometimes 70%
26:19like Gavin Hastings
26:21for the Scottish team.
26:23He is a little weakened.
26:25Here, the managers
26:27of the Irish team
26:29with Noel Murphy
26:31who does not fall asleep
26:33but simply lowers his head.
26:35He is a player who was terrible
26:37I can tell you.
26:39Elwood
26:41his right foot
26:43the ball goes
26:45in a good position
26:47and passes.
26:496 for the Irish team
26:513 for France
26:53after 14 minutes of play
26:55in this first half.
26:57I think Pierre Berbizé
26:59is right.
27:01The French team must play
27:03at the foot of the opponent
27:05and from that moment on
27:07we will offer ourselves
27:09to the Irish team
27:11which is very good.
27:37The French team must play
27:39at the foot of the opponent
27:41and from that moment on
27:43we will offer ourselves
27:45to the Irish team
27:47which is very good.
28:07Oh la la!
28:09Ball taken by number 7
28:11McBride
28:13but Mr. Morrison
28:15whistles.
28:17It is curious the decision
28:19of Mr. Morrison
28:21because he orders a melee
28:23to France
28:25saying that there was
28:27an Irish forward.
28:29We agree but then
28:31there was an Irish offside
28:33in front of the French.
28:35Marc CĂ©cillon
28:37for Abdel Benazie
28:39Abdel releases his ball.
28:41Aubin Weber
28:43for Marc CĂ©cillon
28:45who goes on the attack.
28:47Aubin Weber
28:49still for the French
28:51with an advantage.
28:53Ball for the French.
28:55Marc CĂ©cillon
28:57who must go back
28:59and release his ball.
29:01But Mr. Rogers
29:03makes a mistake to Mr. Morrison.
29:05What happened?
29:07Do you hear?
29:09He separates the players
29:11Mr. Morrison
29:13and he goes to Mr. Rogers.
29:15He goes to the report.
29:17But he closes his microphone.
29:21He summons an Irish player
29:23I think it's Hogan
29:25the little Peter Pan
29:27of this team
29:29who must have walked
29:31on a French player
29:33but anyway
29:35Mr. Morrison
29:37keeps the penalty kick
29:39that he had
29:41for offside.
29:43It's a shame Patrick
29:45because this sequence
29:47can be interesting
29:49and of course France
29:51benefits from a penalty
29:53but the problem
29:55is that we benefit
29:57from a penalty
29:59because we will maybe do 6 to 6
30:01but the sequence would have been
30:03profitable for France
30:05we would have been more dangerous
30:07and of course the Irish are very smart
30:09they prefer a penalty
30:11than take the risk of taking an offside
30:13they will confuse us
30:15throughout the game
30:17it's their system of play
30:19and it will succeed
30:21so I don't see why they would change
30:23if the French team plays at its real level
30:25I think when it comes out
30:27Charles can shoot
30:29with his eyes closed
30:35I look at my timer
30:37more than 22 minutes
30:39that is 18 minutes
30:41in the first half
30:43and France is back
30:456 to 6
30:47it's a bit soft
30:49but it will speed up
30:51as usual
30:53the commitment of the Irish
30:55the ball is taken by Pope Lewel
30:57excellent left-back
30:59one of the best left-back in the world
31:01he just proved it
31:03with a ball for Kingston
31:05and we start again
31:07the Irish have woken up
31:09we found them a bit apathetic
31:11another French foul
31:13a handball
31:15while this ball was on the ground
31:17between the players
31:19a bit stupid
31:21yes it's true
31:23Penalty from Elwood
31:25Elwood or Oshie
31:27Elwood
31:29with his left foot
31:31they reverse with Oshie
31:33Elwood 26 years old
31:351.83m
31:3787kg
31:3915th selection
31:41under the colors of the Irish team
31:43we will take the opportunity
31:45to greet
31:47our French supporters
31:49from Pologne, Lyon, Toulouse
31:51and many other cities
31:53they made more than 10.000km
31:55to come and support the French team
31:57I think they deserve to be spoken about
32:01we can also talk about Brito
32:03three-time player of the Ivory Coast team
32:07Roger talked about it earlier
32:09tetraplegic unfortunately
32:11and a match will be given to his intention
32:13in Biscarosse on June 25th
32:15there will be other things that will be done
32:17I told you about it after this penalty attempt
32:19from Elwood
32:23the ball rises
32:25and it seems to me that it went in a good position
32:279-6 in favor of Ireland
32:31after 20 minutes of play
32:33yes about Brito
32:35I have to tell you that an association
32:37Max Brito was created
32:39and if you want to donate
32:41if you want to donate
32:43you have to write
32:45to the postal box
32:47at 6940
32:49601 Biscarosse
32:51I think you can see it on your screen
32:53write to this address
32:55association Max Brito
32:57and commitment for the French
32:59ball deflected by Futscher
33:01for Jones
33:03he does as he can
33:05that is, on average
33:07and touches
33:09no no
33:11a French forward at the start
33:13on the recovery of the ball
33:15a Nazi who is hit in the nose
33:17I think he bleeds slightly
33:19is it going to be the return of Albert Cigagna
33:21of the Olympic Castrol
33:23whose president is also saluted
33:25Pierre Ivrevol
33:27it's funny because Albert Cigagna
33:29signed at the Olympic Castrol
33:31and was international right after
33:33I think it's a coincidence
33:35is he preparing
33:37I look at Albert Cigagna
33:39I hope Patrick will not cost you more
33:41we joke
33:43yes
33:45it's a theory of very good taste
33:47I think
33:53you hear the Irish supporters
33:55who wake up
33:57they want their team to wake up
33:59because it's true that for the moment
34:01it's a bit soft all that
34:03but it's going to start
34:05you know as well as me
34:07you follow these World Cup matches
34:09it's more the rhythm accelerates
34:11here is the Irish pack
34:13who has just been seriously shaken
34:15here is a forward from Hogan
34:17behind his melee
34:19it will be an introduction
34:21Aubin Weber
34:23they are embarrassed
34:25the Irish in melee
34:27they are embarrassed in touch
34:29it is still significant
34:31for the rest of the meeting
34:33to know that it is still a big advantage
34:35for the French
34:37it replays
34:39for Dello who plays on foot
34:41not very academic
34:43but it's very dangerous for the Irish
34:45it must be beautiful
34:47the number 12 who pushes the ball on foot
34:49too bad a bad transmission
34:51but Christophe has recovered the ball
34:53like a footballer
34:55and we were able to carry the game
34:57a few meters from the Irish line
34:59it is now that we must try to score
35:01the French team must enter the rhythm
35:03and impose this challenge to Ireland
35:05we take them behind the flowering panel
35:09and as far as possible
35:11so we look
35:13touch
35:15ball for Lolo Cabal
35:17it's well done
35:19Abdelbenazie
35:21Christophe Dello
35:23he waited well
35:25the ball goes to the left of the posts
35:27Rambo at 22 meters
35:29with a ball taken back by Ellwood
35:31good defensive pressing
35:33Christophe Dello
35:35wanted to play by hand
35:37unfortunately he was caught
35:39he came back on his left foot
35:41he tried this pitiful drop
35:43we lose a ball
35:45look at Christophe
35:47he puts himself on his left foot
35:49while he is right-footed
35:51unfortunately misses the drop
35:53it was a little blocked
35:55the right side of the team
35:57of France
35:59commitment of the Irish
36:01with a touch for France
36:03we stay in the camp
36:05of the Irish team
36:07still 16 minutes of play
36:09and 3 small points of advance
36:11for the Irish team against France
36:139 to 6
36:15it should not be that the French
36:17manage to satisfy themselves
36:19of these almost systematic equalizations
36:21every time the Irish score points
36:23because we risk having bad surprises
36:25at the exit
36:27touch, ball
36:29in the middle of the line-up
36:31and it starts again
36:33Robin Huébert
36:35for Philippe Sella
36:37for Jean-Luc Sadorni
36:39Ellwood is offside
36:41and melee
36:43for the French
36:45it comes out well
36:47Mr. Morrison could have penalized immediately
36:49I prefer to give a melee to France
36:51very good attack
36:53a cross between Philippe Sella
36:55and Sadorni who crosses the first curtain
36:57Robin Huébert
36:59what will it give?
37:01ball in the feet of Max Essillon
37:03big side now
37:05small kick of Thierry Lacroix above
37:07for Emine Tamak
37:09who just came out in touch
37:11in front of the goal of the Irish team
37:13with a good rebound
37:15and that could have cost the Irish
37:17we saw a very good cross
37:19Christophe Desloo who was on the right
37:21on the left
37:23Conversely, Thierry Lacroix takes the ball
37:25with a flat defense
37:27played a little kick
37:29for his ally
37:31very well played
37:33a few meters from the Irish line
37:35it's well done
37:37here Francis
37:39second line of the Irish team
37:41the main jumper of the Irish
37:43in the line-up
37:45launched from Kingston
37:47the Irish striker
37:49a ball taken back by Francis
37:51and as he takes off
37:53Here, Mr. Morrison returns
37:55to the position of the French
37:57around this group
37:59it's a penalty that will allow
38:01the Irish to clear themselves even better
38:03Yes, because after this kick
38:05the Irish will keep the ball
38:07so they may even go back
38:09in the French camp
38:11although the angle is still quite closed
38:13The Irish are very organized in touch
38:15very good protections with the two pillars
38:17very good jumpers
38:19in this case Francis
38:21I would say the French pack
38:25Touched so
38:27with the ball for the players
38:29of the Irish team
38:31Kingston, striker
38:35who is CEO of a computer company
38:37it's his third World Cup
38:39very good shot by Fulcher
38:41with two hands
38:43yes, Fulcher doesn't take many
38:45but when he doesn't, he does
38:47the other second line of the Irish team
38:49for Ellwood
38:51yes, he got caught
38:53he had the pass
38:55in his feet
38:57the time he gets up
38:59he had the third line of the French team
39:01on his back
39:03it's now Popley-Well
39:05for Oshie
39:07Oshie's kick
39:09it's well done
39:11good left foot
39:13in Oshie's axis
39:15but good defensive pressing
39:17Benazis
39:19has a big artery
39:21behind him
39:23we will play in the middle of the field
39:25I think
39:27Benazis still has the ball
39:29he goes
39:31and the referee whistled
39:33he doesn't touch the right
39:35the throw was not correct
39:37he indicates a fault
39:39in the French alignment
39:41Mr. Morrison does not travel
39:43for the house of the gift
39:45the ball is out
39:47Ogan, Ellwood
39:49outside for Oshie
39:51Oshie-Goegan
39:53Goegan's kick
39:55it's well done
39:57except that the French recover the ball
39:59with Jean-Luc Sadorni
40:01Oshie-Goegan
40:03Emile Tala
40:05who couldn't recover the ball
40:07it's a shame
40:09it went to the other side of the line
40:11very nice rebound
40:13Oshie-Goegan
40:15who was on point
40:17he found the support
40:19unfortunately
40:21was not touched
40:23here is the question
40:25What emblem
40:27does the players of England
40:29wear on their jersey?
40:31A truffle, a chardon
40:33or a rose
40:35to play?
40:3736-78-75-76
40:39and an Irish fault
40:41which will allow the French
40:43to try the penalty
40:45as we are practically 10 minutes
40:47from the end of this first half
40:49and that the wind rises
40:51I will take the opportunity to question
40:53Pierre Berbizier
40:553 points behind
40:579 for Ireland, 6 for France
40:59aren't you afraid that your players
41:01the French
41:03fall into this false rhythm?
41:05The Irish impose a false rhythm
41:07they have every interest
41:09in breaking the game
41:11we have to stay constant
41:13in the conquest
41:15and chain our movements
41:17because it's the ideal scenario
41:19for this team
41:21Are you worried?
41:23No, I think this team
41:25starts well
41:27at a good base
41:29they just need to chain the game
41:31and put some rhythm to this match
41:33otherwise it's the ideal scenario
41:35for the Irish
41:37The wind is at 100%
41:39we will see what happens
41:41with this kick
41:43the sun is still in the eyes
41:45for Thierry
41:49the ball rises
41:51and...
41:53passes between the poles
41:55there is a little hesitation
41:573 penalty attempts
41:593 goals for Thierry Lacroix
42:01who continues on his start
42:03against Scotland
42:05he is there at the right moment
42:07after exactly 30 minutes
42:09the French team
42:11returns to the scoreboard
42:139 to 9
42:15but I think that
42:17compared to what Pierre Berbizi said
42:19the French need to accelerate
42:21with this commitment
42:23of the Irish players
42:25Abdelbenazie takes the ball
42:27Moll
42:29behind him
42:31for Christophe Delot
42:33who finds the touch
42:43the wind rises
42:45here on the stadium
42:47it rises and blows
42:49through the field
42:51it's annoying
42:53but I think that the French team
42:55will benefit from the wind
42:57in the second half
42:59Alpine, the right pillar
43:01the ball is taken by the French
43:03it's a good sign
43:05here it goes
43:07for Thierry Lacroix
43:09a good kick
43:11who manages to surprise
43:13Ochi
43:15the ball is still for the French
43:17deflected
43:19even pushed by Mahony
43:21when you throw the ball
43:23it's a penalty
43:25but it wasn't voluntary
43:27I don't think so
43:29it's a melee
43:31a very good play
43:33without the ball
43:35it's the pressing
43:37it's a melee
43:39it hurts them
43:41it's if we play around
43:43we keep the ball
43:45the melee is completely turned
43:47we have to do it again
43:49be careful not to take a penalty
43:51by disturbing the offensive rise of Haugard
43:53Patrick, we have Jones
43:55who is detached
43:57he is a defender
43:59we have to push the melee
44:01try to push in the axis
44:03he put himself on the side
44:05he did that during the whole match
44:07against PSG
44:09with Philippe Cella
44:11under the chandelier
44:13Jean-Luc Sadourni
44:15great shot by Abdelbenazie
44:17it's good for France
44:19Sadourni
44:21who was there
44:23Sadourni, be careful
44:25it's a melee
44:27beyond the defender
44:29it's Saint-André
44:31and the foul player
44:33is Belle
44:35a new penalty for France
44:37what do we do?
44:39what do you do Eric?
44:41he waits for it
44:43well played
44:45left wing
44:47on the right
44:49it's a very good spirit
44:51like PSG
44:53it's Belle who is at stake
44:55beyond the French
44:57indisputable
44:59the French have to calm down
45:01because it's hot
45:03obviously on your TV screen
45:05you don't realize it
45:07but in the sun it's hot
45:09and the French risk to dehydrate
45:11you know that when we are dehydrated
45:13the physical resources are seriously reduced
45:15so we have to manage all that
45:17but I have the impression that the French
45:19with Bichot and Gousse
45:21a new attempt for Thierry Lacroix
45:23who is not quite on his right foot
45:27very very important
45:29which will allow France
45:31to take the score
45:33it would not be worse
45:35against these Irish
45:37yes especially just before the first half
45:39the ball rises and does not pass
45:41just to the left of the post
45:43it was difficult
45:45we can't blame anything here
45:47to Thierry Lacroix
45:49ladies and gentlemen
45:51we have Cabane and Gonzo
45:53and Philippe now
45:55you have to be very vigilant
45:57on the 22 meters
45:59Elwood will surely try to make it short
46:01very very short for a recovery
46:05so after this match
46:07it's the South African team
46:09who will meet the Samoans
46:11we will know who will be our opponent
46:13since it is these two winners
46:15who will meet in the semifinals
46:17the first match of Antel Rugby
46:19tomorrow from 11 am
46:21you have to work in front Patrick
46:23good recovery
46:25you have to fix this 3rd line
46:27they are all detached
46:29you have to play in the axis
46:31with the forwards
46:33in the axis there is no one
46:35you have to continue
46:37you have to force the 3rd line
46:39to come and fix
46:41this is what is done with Jones
46:43ball for the French
46:45ball for the French
46:47nothing to say
46:49especially since there was
46:51an Irish player offside
46:53but involuntarily said Mr. Morrison
46:55this is the minimum he can do
46:57very good sequence
46:59you have to go face the opponent
47:01on the line of advantage
47:03create intervals
47:05fix these players who do not want to come
47:07this is the game of Ireland
47:11I look at the images of François Lanou
47:13we have our own cameras
47:15if we see Thierry Roland
47:17because we have the honor
47:19to record the presence of Thierry Roland
47:21who attends for the first time
47:23a World Cup match of the French team
47:25Thierry loves football
47:27but he loves all sports
47:29and especially rugby
47:31maybe the drop
47:33I do not know
47:35Deleu is very deep
47:37it seems to me to be classic
47:39ball for the French
47:41it's Thierry Lacroix
47:43who came to support
47:45but someone is missing
47:47Christophe Deleu
47:49to try to surprise
47:51Hoshi and Gohegan
47:53Hoshi's free kick
47:55does he find the touch?
47:57no?
47:59the referee just raised his flag
48:01could we have come back
48:03to the first foul?
48:05do we lose the ball?
48:07this is not an advantage for us
48:09here it is
48:11next to François-Charles Bideau
48:15the director of rugby
48:17from 2011
48:21Jean-Michel Gonzalez
48:23touch
48:25launched French
48:27ball taken by Marc Session
48:29it seems to me
48:31Deleu now
48:33for Thierry Lacroix
48:35Chandel for Thierry Lacroix
48:37what's going on?
48:41Mr. Morrison considers
48:43that Abdellatif Benazie
48:45was offside
48:47at the origin of the kick
48:49that was not put in play
48:51and that he entered the penalty area
48:53so it's a penalty kick
48:55for all of you who watch us
48:57it's not very simple
48:59it's part of the rules
49:01it's simple Patrick
49:03it means that when we are offside
49:05we have to stop at least
49:0710 meters from the player
49:09who is waiting to receive the ball
49:11and we can only enter this area
49:13when we are back in play
49:15it's a protection area
49:19it's a false rhythm
49:21the match has trouble
49:23to start on both sides
49:25but as Pierre Verbizier underlined
49:27it's the case of Ireland
49:29because we are at 9-9
49:31they have a possibility
49:33and it suits
49:35their style of play
49:37you have to score
49:39push them, make them doubt
49:41and then I think that the French team
49:43would be able to take it
49:45we were expecting this first half
49:47we told you, we told you
49:49we knew that it would be difficult
49:51in the first half
49:53but we said the same thing
49:55against Scotland
49:57we had some doubts
49:59until the end
50:01I would
50:03who has a good percentage
50:05with Noel Murphy
50:07his glasses
50:09the manager of the Irish team
50:11and the Irish supporters
50:13who encourage their team
50:1512 for Ireland
50:17and 9 for France
50:19at 1 minute from the end of the first half
50:21it means that the Irish team
50:23has 3 points ahead
50:25at the half-time
50:27Pierre Verbizier
50:29who discusses
50:31with
50:33supporters
50:35of the French team
50:37too deep
50:39this kick
50:41ball taken by Johnson
50:43number 8
50:45ball for Rogan
50:47attention
50:49kick, no, no, it came out directly
50:51I have the foot behind a group
50:53but directly in touch
50:55he was in front of his 22 meters
50:57touch at 2
50:59of the French team
51:01yes, yes, Olivier
51:03who turns to Ben Webber
51:05and we give on Christophe Delon
51:07for Olivier Merle
51:09Merle, Merle, Merle, Merle
51:11Merle who went into percussion
51:13who makes a point of fixation
51:15Jamy-Jean Gonzales, the French accelerate
51:17and the drop of Christophe Delon missed
51:19it could have been given
51:21yes but Patrick
51:23the Irish were out of play
51:25Christophe Delon is embarrassed
51:27Mr. Morrison returns to the penalty
51:29very good sequence of play
51:31of the French team
51:33I think all the Irish
51:35are in the laterality
51:37you have to hit them
51:39you have to create intervals
51:41otherwise the French team will fall
51:43on a mirror defense
51:45Christophe after
51:47tries the drop
51:49but it's systematic
51:51you have to challenge them
51:54Thierry Lacroix
51:5610 meters in front of the post
51:58the ball passes between the posts
52:00obviously 12 to 12
52:02I think Mr. Morrison will whistle
52:04in a few seconds
52:06the end of this first half
52:08whatever there was
52:10I applaud some small stops
52:12yes but not more than a minute
52:14we will certainly re-engage here now
52:16and the next stop will be the half
52:18very good charge of Olivier Merle
52:20he is the one who brings the 3 points
52:22from the second line of the French team
52:24of the first half
52:26look at the technique
52:28he sits down practically
52:30he makes a very short kick
52:32and he hits in front of the line
52:34but now the referees say nothing
52:36it's more than it was
52:38it was not like that
52:40well heard my dear friend
52:42here is Christophe Delon
52:44from the left foot
52:46he finds the touch well
52:48he immediately replays the Irish
52:50he was not in his 22 meters
52:52he hesitated
52:54yes but then why not let the Irish play quickly
52:56since they wanted to do it
52:58even if there was a problem
53:00too bad
53:02too bad for the game
53:04and for the spirit of the game
53:06complete Irish touch
53:08at the end of the first half
53:10nothing more to whistle
53:12the score at the end of this first half
53:1412 for the Irish team
53:1612 for France
53:18and from the second half
53:20see you later
