&A week before playing the All Blacks, France, for its first match of the November tour, crushed Japan (52-12). In this festival of eight tries, Bielle-Biarrey and Boudehent each scored a double. France 52: 12 Japan Live The French XV's start was ideal against Japan. From now on, the level will rise. The All Blacks have five consecutive wins, including one in Ireland (13-23), on November 8. The Pumas crushed Italy (18-50), earlier in the day. Before meeting New Zealand next Saturday, the Blues crushed a weak Japanese team (52-12). A match that will offer little to Fabien Galthié's staff, given the huge gap between the two nations. Bielle-Biarrey and Boudehent shone by scoring a double each. Gros, Roumat, Gailleton and Mauvaka also scored a goal in this offensive festival (8 tries in total). Attisogbe (knee), who replaced Penaud (ill) just before the start of the match, and Flament (ribs) left on injury this game. These are the two snags of a perfect evening.

Attisogbe has just saved the French XV. Jalibert makes the goal kick.
22:42 – The video intervenes! (61st)
Attisogbe seems to have put his knee between the ball and the ground. It's a superb defence from the winger of the XV of France.
Tevita Tatafu comes to conclude a school maul. France has been caught in the axis.
