The national XV, which was playing its second match on the European continent, fell to the oceanic by 39-10.
Los Cóndores continue to plan and adjust the final details to play the XV Rugby World Cup which will take place in France next year. During this day, the national rugby team added his second encounter in the european tour preparatory to the planetary event and lost 39-10 against fellow Tonga.
The national team, which had just lost to Romania, was overtaken by the Oceanic, which will play its ninth World Cup and will share Group B with South Africa, Ireland, Scotland and Romania. .
After the defeat of the Cóndores, the national coach, Pablo Lemoine, spoke about the duel disputed with the fifteenth best team in the world ranking: “Match balance has good and bad. Losing both games is not good, especially the first one we had the chance to win. Today we should have been more consistent, done the job really well . It makes us repeat a number of defensive sequences, in addition to the misconduct of the whole team, because all the players take one or two penalties, so it’s impossible to play at this level because you have one or two chances to defend, but not five . We take several things. We worked well, hard, there were positive things in this direction. It helps a lot to learn how to play this contact, at this level, we have a long way ahead of us and we have to go through it ”.
“I see the players involved. I believe that there is a certain individual deficit, but they must be responsible for assuming and resolving them. . We can give them the tools, but they have to commit and understand the importance of playing a World Cup for Chile. . The players have to challenge themselves a lot to improve because there are individual things that don’t improve at the group level. This is what we remember from this tour. The boys are super committed and ready to work, these are things that will help us,” added the strategist.
In this vein, Martin Sigren, captain of the Condors, spoke about the results after playing the duels against Romania and Tonga: “We did not achieve our objectives. The goal was to take one of these two test match. We dream of putting Chile in a level 2 and we had two opportunities which we failed to take advantage of. The band grows from that, from those experiences. These are intense matches to which we must continue to expose ourselves. We have time to continue to grow and to get better at the World Cup ”.
Note that the Condors will face Leinster, the Irish team at the top of the United Rugby Championship, to end the European tour.
