Saint-Andre: Draw feels like a defeat

France were left to reflect on the “feeling of defeat” after ending their Six Nations Grand Slam hopes yesterday, according to manager Philippe Saint-Andre.

Les Bleus gave away two tries in the first half and trailed 17-6 at half-time before mounting a fightback.

“There was a feeling of defeat, not that of a draw in the dressing room,” Saint Andre said after the game.
