1987 - 1st Rugby World Cup New Zealand & Australia Tournament Semi-Final: France vs. Australia [Full-time recording, English commentary] [L'Équipe devoted 9 pages to this legendary match] *This is a must-see match in the history of the Rugby World Cup, which begins in September 2023. In the semi-final, after a back-and-forth battle from the start, the score was tied at [24-24] in the second half, and the match went into stoppage time, where France's "Champagne Rugby" exploded. The all-out attack inspired great emotion. The attack, with no distinction between forwards and backs, lasted for 36 seconds. The French players connected the ball with their individual, graceful skills until the very end, resulting in a miraculous try. I believe that the success of today's Rugby World Cup is due to such a legendary match occurring in the inaugural World Cup. It's a fantastic match even now. This is a valuable (full-time recording). The final try by Serge Blanco, a treasure of French rugby and "Mr. Rugby," is still remembered as one of the best tries in rugby history (with photo)
