France coach says team will be scarred for life by 1-point Rugby World Cup quarter-final loss to SA

France losing the rugby World Cup quarter-final to South Africa by one point is a scar the team will carry for the rest of their lives but they are building a side that will be stronger in the 2027 edition, coach Fabien Galthie said on Wednesday.

“Four years of consistent progress, the only objective was to be world champion. The disappointment would have been the same if we’d lost by one point in the semi-final or final,” Galthie told reporters. South Africa also beat both England in the semi-finals and New Zealand in the final by one point to lift the trophy.
