The France
“Of course we are sad with this result, this scenario which is cruel” explain François Crosthird-line wing of the French team. “I don’t even have the words, it’s a shame for us, for the group, for the event, the public who follows us, it’s very, very hard this evening. We didn’t give up the whole match, We had put in the ingredients, but it’s true that we collected the points too easily, and, complicated thing, this last action where we make the effort and where we are not rewarded. It’s cruel. Always can we find the explanations we want, it’s over and the adventure ends there for us. It’s a shame for this group who deserved to go further. It’s competition of a lifetime, a World Cup in France, we won’t play it again and it’s a shame to end like that“.
“It’s hard to know what to say.” adds on his side Matthew Jalibertopening half of the XV of France. “There was really room, it was a great rugby match between two great teams who went blow for blow. We had moments where we could have scored in the second half, taken off, we didn’t was not able to do it. We must also congratulate the Boks who, in a difficult context, resisted our attacks and scored when they were able to do so. So today there is a lot of disappointment, frustration. When we see the atmosphere that was there again, yes, we are disappointed. What makes us saddest is that tonight, we were not able to make them proud and happy. We can try to find the positive by saying that there are a lot of young players, a great generation, but the truth is that today, we failed in the quarter-final of our World Cup and it’s going to be hard to accept.“
