Les Bleus de Thomas Vernoux ont dominé leur sujet. MIDI LIBRE – Jérôme Belluire

Les Bleus se sont imposés ce lundi 1er juillet face au Monténégro (14-10) en match de préparation pour les Jeux.

The players of the French team, beaten on penalties two days earlier in Montpellier, feel visibly better in Sète. This Monday, July 1, Thomas Vernoux's teammates effectively offered some 700 spectators at Fonquerne a real demonstration of force.

The first quarter quickly increased in intensity and France turned to 4-3 after two goals from Crousillat. The difference was made in the second, with a tight defense, an imperial Fontani in his goals and a solid Bodegas offensively (9-4). The match was over, the Blues could enjoy their revenge less than a month before the opening of the Olympic Games.
