Instagram. France v. New Zealand, 2011 Rugby World Cup Final. :: Rugby videos of tackles, tries, funny incidents and more Rugb. :: Rugby videos of tackles, tries, funny incidents and more Rugb. Tuesday, January 13, 2009 French rugby has for many a year been associated with a free running spirit and je ne sais quoi that is truly unique and a pleasure to watch. One of our regular contributors from France has put together a video that shows some of the finer moments from the men in blue, spanning thirty years of classic running rugby. The early seventies clips show us legends of the French game scoring fantastic tries, leading into the eighties and nineties, culminating in one of the most famous French wins over New Zealand in '99. Some of the players on display here are legends such as Lagisquet, Blanco, Sella, Lafond, Camberabero, Sadourny, Saint-Andre, and Dominici.
It's a sensational compilation that shows you the true flair of the French, running the ball from all angles, keeping it alive whenever possible, and most importantly - getting over the tryline to finish off the great phases of play. YouTube - NZ vs France - Dunedin June 2009.
