This rugby world cup begins perfectly for the French women’s team. As announced, the Bleues only made a bite of Brazil (84-5), and ensured their qualification in the quarterfinals. Despite their total domination, the players of Gaëlle Mignot and David Ortiz did not break the record of points of France (99-0 against Japan in 1994).
But the main thing is elsewhere for the Bleues which still fill up with confidence in this World Cup, after their first success against Italy (24-0). Faced with the Brazilians, the French team delivered a real offensive recital with 14 trials. Captain of the Bleues, Marine Menager lived his 60th selection, and celebrated the event with two registered trials (27th, 40th).
A historical essay for Brazil
Despite this heavy defeat, Brazil experienced a historic moment. In the 63rd minute, Bianca Silva entered history by scoring her country’s first try in a World Cup. A small consolation batch for South American.
Author of a full match with a double, the back of the XV of France Emilie Boulard was very satisfied: “We wanted to have fun, and work on the offensive aspect. What we had had trouble doing on the last two games, now I think it’s done. We will have to build on it. »»
Before playing the direct elimination phase, the Blue will try to take first place in group D, overcome from South Africa (September 7) which won its two games against Brazil (66-6) and Italy (24-29). Emilie Boulard has announced to expect a “big fight”.
