The Stade Français will once again have its two sections, women’s and men’s, at the highest level of French rugby for the 2023-2024 season. The Pink Rockets, who suffered relegation last season, will not have lingered in Elite 2. Thanks to their 22-3 victory this Saturday at the Sainte-Germaine stadium, in Bouscat, in the Bordeaux suburbs, against La Rochelle in second division final, the Franciliennes offer themselves the right to find the Elite 1.
The second line, Angéline Viardot, scored the only try of the game (36th). For the rest it was Lucile Caffy who was comfortable facing the poles to transform the penalties.
The Stade Français had however finished second, two points from Rochelaises in the regular phase. But during the final stages the Pink Rockets were able to make the difference by winning 43-25 in the semi-final against Rouen at the Jean-Bouin stadium, when they were down 19-0. E, Elite 1 they will find another Ile-de-France team, AC Bobigny.
