Following the half-time break, France was back with a winning pattern and fierce attacks. While AJ McGinty managed the USA’s third penalty conversion, the Americans just couldn’t score a try. Fans in Fukuoka must have been anticipating another shock result for the Rugby World Cup. Gael Fickou of France marked his 50th test by dashing those hopes and forcing a third French try.

Then, Lopez set up teammate Baptiste Serin for a fourth try with another high kick collected by Raka. While Poirot made it a five with a “driving maul” on the final whistle. Despite poor handling and discipline, France made it through with their bonus point. Sadly, for the USA, they will likely be knocked out of the World Cup after earning no points again. France got the job done and bookies will be raising their odds for upcoming matches.
