Sèchement battue par la Grande-Bretagne (7-35), l’équipe de France a été éliminée dès les quarts de finale du tournoi de Singapour.

Fin d’une belle série pour l’équipe de France qui, après avoir enchaîné trois podiums sur le circuit mondial (3e place à Vancouver, victoire à Los Angeles, 2e place à Hongkong), est éliminée du tournoi de Singapour dès les quarts de finale. Quelques heures après avoir perdu leur dernier match de poule contre l’Afrique du Sud, les Bleus, dont le groupe a été profondément remanié pour cette étape, ont subi la loi de la Grande-Bretagne (7-35), contre qui ils n’avaient jamais perdu cette saison.

Les Français ont pourtant mené 7 à 0 à la deuxième minute, grâce à un essai de Jordan Sepho, bien servi par Andy Timo. Mais les Bleus, pris de vitesse et trop indisciplinés, ont ensuite encaissé cinq essais.

«Â Le fait de ne pas avoir la balle nous a coûté cher, surtout sur les conquêtes aériennes où on n’a pas réussi à les contrer, analysait le sélectionneur Jérôme Daret. Ils ont été meilleurs que nous dans ce domaine, ils ont gagné la bataille des airs. On a eu deux ballons dans la partie, c’est trop peu. Il nous a manqué aussi beaucoup de précision sur pas mal de détails, sur lesquels on travaille fort en ce moment. À 7, quand il y a un grain de sable dans la machine, ça peut vite s’enrayer et ça a été le cas. Mais on sait où on en est et on construit pour la suite. »
