2025 Women's Rugby World Cup: The French women in the quarter-finals, the table
The Women's Rugby World Cup has been a hot topic for several weeks, and the French women are considered outsiders in the competition. England and New Zealand are obviously the big favorites. But the good news is that after two easy wins against Italy and Brazil, the French needed to secure a victory against South Africa to finish in first place and avoid New Zealand. A perfect outcome for the French women, who crushed South Africa 57-10. "We were dreading this match because there was the pressure of first place, and they're players we rarely play against. But it went well. We're relieved and also reassured for the future," explained fullback Émilie Boulard after the match.
