Welcome to the live broadcast dedicated to the match between France and Japan, as part of the autumn 2024 tour.
What is it about? A reunion of the Blues with the Stade de France – with the exception of “Toto” Dupont who played there, won and danced with the VII tricolor Olympic champion –, a year after their cruel elimination, by a small point, by South Africa, in the quarterfinals of the World Cup at home. The first confrontation, finally, between Fabien Galthié’s men and the Brave Blossoms since November 2022. That day, the French won 35-17 in Toulouse.
EITHER ? At the Stade de France, in Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis).
