With ten minutes to go in Scotland-France, Les Bleus scored a try that sealed victory through winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey, while they were trailing 16-10.
The individual feat of the Union Bordeaux-Bègles player was made possible by two naive errors from the Scottish defenders, who left the field wide open.

With four attackers on the open side, and two closed sides, Les Bleus have space on the left.
Finn Russell, controls and anticipates the departure on the closed side to prevent his team from being outnumbered.
François Cros takes the ball. And manages to advance by a good ten meters. All thanks to an old-fashioned cunning move by Paul Boudehent, the replacement flanker for Les Bleus, who held back the Scottish player Adam Christie by the jersey during the scrum. The latter was completely fooled, like a Benjamin.

Thanks to the Rochelais’ MasterClass, Les Bleus are moving forward and Ben White is forced to intervene in defence. His intervention alerts his partner Kyle Rowe, the winger, and the full-back Paterson, who come to compensate, even though it wasn’t necessarily necessary.


Bielle-Biarrey finds himself with space in his five-meter alley, and therefore outpaces the last two defenders, who were urgently coming towards him. By the time they turned around, it was already too late, and the French winger had outpaced everyone to finish in the Scottish in-goal area.
An accumulation of errors, well provoked by the French team at this moment in the game, which made the difference.
