WOMEN’S RUGBY WORLD CUP. The French rugby team was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Women’s Rugby World Cup. Les Bleues lost to New Zealand (24-25).
[Mis à jour le 5 novembre 2022 à 13h30] Dream end for the French women’s rugby team. Les Bleues were beaten by the New Zealanders in the semi-final of the World Cup, this Saturday, November 5, 2022. Until the end, the French women will have believed it. Especially since they entered the match, drums beating. After 23 minutes of play, Les Bleues led 10-0 against Blacks Ferns (the “Black Ferns”, nickname of the New Zealand women’s rugby team). A fierce struggle ensued. Finally, Caroline Drouin had the winning penalty in the last moments of the game. Alas, the ball passed to the left of the posts. Difficult to blame him, as the opener of the XV of France will have been precious throughout the tournament. The French finally lost 24 to 25.
The Women’s Rugby World Cup is not over for Les Bleues. They will face the Canadians on Saturday, November 12 for the small final of the competition.

The same day, the final will oppose New Zealand to England. The Blacks Ferns will be looking for a sixth world title.
