This Saturday, October 22, the French rugby team faces Fiji for the third match of the Women’s World Cup played in New Zealand. A decisive match for the quarter-finals.
Get up and go forward. After winning its first match of the Rugby World Cup against South Africa (40-5), the XV of France lost to England (13-7), the world’s first nation. And this Saturday, October 22, Les Bleues (2nd, 6 pts) face Fiji (3rd, 4 pts) for the last match of their group.
For this last group meeting which already promises to be decisive for the quarter-finals, coach Thomas Darracq carried out a wide staffing review. He has therefore decided to turn all the lines upside down in order to rest the organisms which were particularly hard hit last weekend. The staff of the XV of France women therefore communicated this Thursday, October 20 its team composition. Gaëlle Hermet notably finds her role as captain for the duel against the players from the Pacific. Among the Bleues aligned against Fiji, only four players appeared in the starting XV during the defeat against England.
