Rugby: the blues make the All Blacks bend
This France – New Zealand was the match awaited by an entire people, an entire staff, an entire team! And the bruises were there. A victory in the fight, with a close score until the end of 30-29. Enough to look to the future with certainty and be able to confirm this good current form against Argentina next weekend, at the end of this 2024 tour.

Football: a very positive reaction in Italy
After a sad and very disappointing match at the Stade de France against Israel (0-0), the blues showed a completely different face in Italy this Sunday. In style, Didier Deschamps’ men won 3-1 to seal 2024 by finishing in first place in their group in this Nations League. Qualification for the quarter-finals is therefore validated and acquired with flying colors.

Badminton: Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue impress
End clap on the Kumamoto Masters and excellent performance for the French pair Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue who only lost in the final against a very experienced Thai pair. A performance that we will have to try to repeat this week during the China Masters which begins this Tuesday.

Tennis: the French women’s team adrift
Disillusionment for French women’s tennis. After an already dull season, it’s a descent into division 2 of the Billie Jean King Cup for the French. Beaten 3-2 in Colombia, the protΓ©gΓ©s of coach Julien Benneteau end this 2024 season with a bitter failure.

Alpine skiing: ClΓ©ment NoΓ«l already at the top
Back on the slopes after a very promising last season, ClΓ©ment NoΓ«l already appears in great shape. The Frenchman won for the first stage of the season in Levi in ββFinland. A race mastered from start to finish and first place in the world rankings at stake. Let us also note the good race of Steven Amiez who finished in sixth place.
