Rugby World Cup: the Blues newspaper, the phrase of the day, the number

Excellent news for the French XV, Antoine Dupont received authorization from his surgeon this Monday to take part in training for the French team. It now remains to be seen how the Stade Toulousain scrum half will respond to the first contacts during training at Rueil-Malmaison, starting this Tuesday with a more intense session.

Fabien Galthié and his staff have three days to assess the physical condition of their captain, the team composition to challenge South Africa in the quarter-final, Sunday (9 p.m.) at the Stade de France, will not be officially revealed until Friday noon .

Mike Tadjer looked back on Portugal's historic victory on Sunday against Fiji (24-23), the first World Cup success in the history of the Lobos. The Portuguese ended his international career in style by once again distinguishing himself with his kicking game in this meeting. The hooker made a few jokes on this subject with Rugbyrama after the match. “These are my football leftovers! I grew up in a city where I played a lot of football and I always dreamed of playing three-quarters (laughs). There, I had nothing to do there, I was in the second curtain and so I hit this kick which wasn't too bad!

Owen Farrell became the best scorer in the history of the XV de la Rose on Saturday, by scoring a penalty in the 18th minute of the match between England and Samoa at Villeneuve d'Ascq (18-17). The Saracens player only needed one point to erase the record of the legendary Jonny Wilkinson (1,179 points). He now has 1181 points and will try to score even more against Fiji in the quarter-final.

Author of a double during the victory of the XV of France against Italy (60-7), Damian Penaud became the second best try scorer in the history of the Blues, behind Serge Blanco. With 35 tries, the native of Brive-la-Gaillarde has overtaken Vincent Clerc (34 tries) and is now three lengths behind Biarrot. The latter reacted to the new great performance of his new runner-up, who could soon overtake him.
