Boyle was pleased with how his team played the game.
"The team was perfect," said the French coach. "I am very happy with the players because we lost our last match in Cardiff and it was not a good result.
"After this game (in front of Cardiff), we said we wanted to get the three points of our next game away from home, which was obviously a tough challenge, but the team showed his character."
"We realize that all the players were tired and tired, but the most important thing is that we showed our strength for the moment.
"In such situations, the difference does not only depend on the efficiency, but also on the physical form."
