Romain Trouilloud's 55-meter kick was something insane, but when you have a scrum machine that purrs, it makes it easier for everyone else
Gauthier, Ruffenach and Thomas with a massive shift💪
Especially Thomas

If you told me that New Zealand would only have an 18-point lead at halftime, I wouldn't have believed it 🇪🇸
