And yet they were at 14 for almost an hour… Les Bleues easily won against Ireland (53-3), Saturday April 1, for the second meeting of their Tournament. The numerical inferiority of the XV of France – following the expulsion of the pillar Annaëlle Deshayes for a contact at the head of an opponent (21st) – has never been felt in Cork.
Well launched by a try from their captain Audrey Forlani (9th), the Bleues then unfolded thanks in particular to the doubles of Pauline Bourdon and Gabrielle Vernier. The bonus point already secured after 33 minutes of play, the players of Gaëlle Mignot and David Ortiz finally scored a whopping nine tries. After its victory in Italy last week, France takes the lead of the Tournament while waiting for the other meetings of the weekend.
