'It's been a few years since England made such an impact' - France confident for Le Crunch fixture

France delivered another less-than-impressive performance in their latest World Cup win, a 23-21 over a fast-finishing Tonga side, setting up a final pool clash against old rivals England.

Jacques Brunel’s side has come under fire for lacklustre displays against the lesser-knowns after coming away with a first-up win over Argentina. However, after the Los Pumas’ 14-man defeat to England and the win over Tonga, France have secured a quarterfinal spot without the Le Crunch fixture playing a part.

“We did what we had to do with the win. We knew qualification was the primary goal, and it’s done,” flyhalf Romain Ntamack said following the win.

“It was difficult for a while, and it became a tough match. The Tongans clung on right to the end. There are things to fix but we’ll take the win.”

“I’m not saying we were scared because we were in control. Tonga came back in the end, but we were never in danger. For me, the score doesn’t reflect the nature of the game.”

France will know that this kind of performance will not be up to scratch against a powerful England side who dispatched them 44-8 at Twickenham earlier this year in the Six Nations. The French were awful in kick coverage that day as England picked apart a feeble back three with an aerial assault.

“It’s a game that matters,” the Toulouse-utility back said of the England fixture.

“We will be facing a better team. We will try and respond, to play our own game. It’s been a few years since England made such an impact. They’ll want to reassert that.”

This time around the result will decide who tops Pool C, with France keen on showing improvement ahead of the knockout stages. Ntamack says the side needs to be more patient to avoid making the same errors.

“We know there’s no consistency. We can’t play a full game from the first to the 80th minute. It didn’t happen today. We need to be more patient. We must work on not making the same old errors,” he said.

Elusive halfback Antoine Dupont is excited about facing England without the fear of elimination which will allow the side to test themselves ahead of the finals.

“We are in the quarter-finals, and before that, a big game awaits us against England. We can measure ourselves against one of the best teams in the world without having to worry about qualification. It’s always a good test,” he said.

“We’re going to concentrate on our own rugby. We’re not going to speculate: after the pool phase there is no good draw. There are only the big teams left.”

Dupont also was not worried about the performance against Tonga, saying the side ‘were never in real trouble’ but missed the control they needed to be more comfortable.

“There are a few things to look at. We could have killed the game off sooner. But we’ve qualified. Not many people believed in us. We can be happy with that for now.”

Can Rugby Australia afford to go ‘all in’ on the Queensland Reds?

HOW I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK MY STOLEN BITCOIN THROUGH (FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.


I would never have dreamed that a second could change everything. One minute, I am sitting in the café working on a project. The next minute, my laptop is gone-took in two seconds. That was not merely a device being stolen. On that laptop, my entire future financial life-some $630,000-worth of Bitcoins-was located. I refused to believe that just the first moment it had happened, and I began a crazy search all over the café, as if I'd misplaced it. But deep down, I knew it: It was gone. The realization hit like a punch to the gut. Not only had I lost my most important work tool, but I had also lost years of careful savings.

Then, panic hit. I hadn't ever backed up my wallet. The thought of losing it all made me feel physically sick. My mind raced through all the things I could have done differently, all the ways I could have prevented this. But regret wouldn't bring my Bitcoin back.

Desperate, I began searching for solutions. That was when another designer spoke about Folkwin expert Recovery. The first thought that came into my mind was, could anyone actually recover stolen cryptocurrency? But I reached out because I had no other options.

From the very first conversation, I knew I was in the right hands. Their team wasn't just professional; it was really very understanding. They never made me feel silly because I didn't have a backup. They only reassured me, explaining each step of the recovery process to me. They had dealt with cases like mine before and were determined to help.

The waiting period was excruciating. There were days when I lost hope, convinced my funds were gone forever. But the Folkwin expert Recovery team kept me updated, using advanced blockchain tracking and forensic tools to trace my stolen assets.

Then, after weeks of work, I got the call—they had recovered my Bitcoin. The relief was indescribable. It felt like getting my life back.

They not only helped me recover my money but also, beyond that, they improved my security: through their app providing real-time security alerts, encrypted backups, anti-theft, of which I had no idea.

This experience taught me a hard lesson about digital security, but it also showed me that even the worst situations can be turned around with the right experts. I owe them everything at Folkwin expert Recovery, and if you ever find yourself in the same nightmare, don't hesitate to reach out to Folkwinexpertrecovery (@) tech-center (.) com , Whats-App: +1 (740)-705-0711 for assistance.
