The fears of seeing a South Africa doubt the French team were quickly dissipated. The Bleues quickly raised in mind, before flying to a new festival (57-10) after that against Brazil (84-5) to ensure first place in group D after a “small final” mastered from start to finish.
In the quarterfinals of this rugby world cup, they will therefore find Ireland which was swept away by New Zealand (40-0) earlier in the day.
At the break, the players of Gaëlle Mignot and David Ortiz already led 24-3, well launched by the test of Émilie Boulard in the 9th minute after a penalty at 5 m played by hand. The rear was imitated by three other of its partners, Gabrielle Vernier (20th), Charlotte Escudero (26th) and Agathe Gérin (37th) who all flattened in the opposing in-goal.
A test festival
To make sure of the fate of the Springboks, Chumisa Qawe received a yellow card in the 25th minute after a head of head with the head with Marine household. A few minutes later, the color of the cardboard turned into a 20 -minute red, after revisioning the bunker.
Largely in mind and in numerical superiority, the Habs rolled out on the return from the locker room. Boulard offered a double (44th), just like Joanna Grisez (51st, 75th). Entry into play, Annaëlle Deshaye (61st) and Alexandra Chambon (79th) also participated in the party. On the South African side, Nadine Roos (81st) saved the honor at the very end of the game.
France now has a week to best prepare for its quarter -final which will take place on Sunday, September 14. Already winner of the Irish women at the Six Nations Tournament last March, the Bleues leave favorite. In the event of a possible semi-final, their English bane, opposed to Scotland in quarters, is looming.
