The Blues crushed the English at Twickenham (10-53), a historic win

A historic victory. France’s XV crushed England (10-53) on Day 4 of the Six Nations this Saturday at Twickenham. The Blues haven’t won against the Englishman for 18 years. Six months before the start of the World Cup in France, Fabian Caldi’s men hit the ground running. Biggest win in its history against XV of Rose.

The Blues scored seven tries this Saturday: Thomas Ramos (2nd), Thibaut Flament (26th, 58th), Charles Olivonne (40th, 60th), Damien Benat (72nd, 75th). England have never conceded so many points at home. “It’s a little difficult to understand when you see the score on the board.”Captain Antoine Dupont responded after the final whistle. “53 to 10 at Twickenham at the den of Rugby, it is sure that it is historic. (…) Let’s focus on the result (Scotland-Ireland match, editor’s note) tomorrow. If Ireland win it all, well done to them. But we are our “We wanted to play the card fully and not give up the trophy so easily. We knew we had to make a big decision here to compete again in the Six Nations, and that’s it. Let’s look forward to the sequel.”

Fabian Galthy became the first French coach to win the tournament in London since Bernard Laporte: since his team triumphed at Twickenham in 2005 (18-17), Marc Livremont, Philippe Saint-Andre, Guy Noves and Jacques Brunel have broken through their teams. Teeth in the temple of English rugby. Calthie returned empty-handed from his first two visits to Twickenham 22-19 after extra time with a vastly overhauled team in the short-lived Autumn Cup Nations in 2020, then 23-20 in the Six Nations the following year.
