The 'XV del Gallo' regained feeling, allied with England and finished second The 'Cardiff Dragons' after losing on the opening day defeat to England after a row with Scotland, Italy and Ireland, is presented in Paris with a remote option to finish winning the tournament. A chimera that some body took an hour before starting the Stade de France clash with the English defeat in Dublin. Of course, the challenge was simple: beat France again before their fans six years later and do it for more than 27 points. The task seemed 'mission impossible'. And it was.
of no avail that Hook opened the scoring in the last match of the tournament with a certain penalty stroke two minutes, as only Morgan Parra four after neutralizing and French scrum-half himself, curiously substitute in the defeat of the 'XV del Gallo' in Twickenham, he turned the scoreboard on 25 minutes, thirteen after opening his second kick Welsh fails to stick . It was clear that this time Paris was not to promote any miracles, especially when nothing else fulfilled the first half-hour mark the opening Trinh Duc made a big 'French trip,' never better, to stop the advance of that Halfpenny had already taken the test route near the sidelines.
And, furthermore, between itself Morgan Parra, author of 18 points between test transformations and 'criminal' and the second Lionel Nallet, with a rehearsal shortly before the break, taking the first big mistake of the Welsh, and another just outside the locker room at the resumption of the meeting, after a great interception of his companion Pierre to the improper line Hook kick defense, Tracked victory and France, which managed to reconcile with his fans at the Stade de France after the humiliation suffered seven days before Roma.La 'icing' put the wing Vincent Clerc in the third and final test party, which came two minutes after Hook was sent to 'sin bin' by completing a match to forget the Welsh open, despite being the author of nine points his team, who spent ten minutes of regulation to the exclusion did not return to the field, making instead the veteran Stephen Jones, that this step will have to further postpone their retirement.
With this comprehensive victory, France achieved a sufficient advantage to this Six Nations finish in second place, because it needed to be imposed by ten points or more in Wales. And he did, well he did!.
