Three games, three victories embellished each time the offensive bonus: the French Rugby Women’s team responded perfectly to England, victorious Saturday of Wales (58-5). By winning in Scotland (28-8), Sunday, April 10 for the third day of the Six Nations tournament, the XV of France continues its goal of imitating their male counterparts by conducting their first Grand Slam since 2018. The tricolors are Secondly behind the Red Roses in favor of the difference in points.

The Bleues have not been as transcendent and dominatrixes that the score suggests it for their first trip in this competition. As facing Italy in opening of the tournament (39-6, March 27), they have sometimes been straundly offensively. The consequence, perhaps, of the largely reworked composition proposed by the manager Annick Hayraud: nine changes compared to the victory against Ireland (40-5), last Saturday. “It is necessary to be much more precise in areas of the field that are important,” confirmed after the match Captain Gaëlle Hermet at the microphone of France 2.

A problematic indiscipline

More boring, they have been particularly unruly, granting a total of six penalties, including seven in the first twenty minutes. “We have to recover my head to the place, we are very unruly, regretted Gaëlle Hermet. We win the match but it can harm us.” Despite advantageous possession (63% of the time), the Scots n. have benefited in numerical superiority thanks to the Trial of Chloe Rollie (28-8, 68 e ), a few minutes after Julie Annery’s yellow card (64 e ). Previously, the XV of the thistle had multiplied the imprecisions when it approached the opposing line, proof once again the defensive qualities of the France team.

Despite these slags and the valiant performance of the Ecossaises, the blue had already assured the offensive bonus at the break through efficiency that now represents its manufacturing mark. Well took them since they did not register any point in the second half.

Auriver of a new double after that succeeded against Ireland, Laure Sansus is the perfect illustration of French realism. The half of melee scored the first test of the lonely match by taking up a clever kick for herself above Scottish Defense (7-0, 8 e ). For his second try, she was simply at the right time at the right time to receive a few inches from the re-goal against Captain Gaëlle Hermet (21-3, 35 e ).

The reassuring foot game of Jessy Trémoulière

often imprecise balloon in hand, the blue also relied on the depth of the game at the foot of Jessy Trémoulière. The back, repositioned Sunday at the half of the opening, showed that it was not the best player of the decade for nothing; She was elected wife of the game at the Glasgow Scotstoun Stadium.

It is the second tricolor test after a pretty passfoot (14-3, 27 e ) before being at the origin of the fourth test synonymous with offensive bonus ( 28-3, 39 e ). Gaëlle Hermet flattened in fact following a touch that Trémoulière had gleaned thanks to the rule of 50:22 (when a team indirectly finds the key in the 22 meters adverse from his own camp, she retrieves the throw).

Always the blue pursue their walk forward, even without really convincing in the game. They will now benefit from a little rest before moving in two weeks in Wales, last Cap to cross Prior to the designated final of the Six Nations Tournament against England, April 30 in Bayonne.
