France-England: Two weeks before their World Cup debut, Les Bleues outclassed in the Crunch in a warm-up match

The French team was soundly beaten by England on Saturday evening in Mont-de-Marsan, in a World Cup warm-up match.

Missed dress rehearsal. Two weeks before their World Cup debut, the French team was beaten by England (40-6) in a Crunch that represented their only warm-up match , on Saturday, August 9, on the pitch of the André-et-Guy-Boniface stadium in Mont-de-Marsan. Largely dominated physically, the Blues notably cracked on three carried balls, the Red Roses' weapon of choice, in the first half, and were unable to reverse the trend after the break, with six tries conceded in total and none scored.
