A crowd of men walk across a field and then a man in a suit exits a building and walks towards the camera. Following this, the rugby team can be seen in action.
In Paris, a man takes photos of Parisian streets and L'arc de Triomph is in the background.
A man with a moustache, possibly one of the rugby managers, walks along a path nears the coast. There are panoramic views of a valley from that road, including a farmhouse. Two men walk down the road, turn around and wave.
The rugby team practice on a pitch with lots of advertising boards all around. The teams line up on the pitch, shake hands, and start the game.
A while later a player limps off the pitch; half time and they all drink water. The film ends with more footage of the rugby match being played.
