A success that feels good. The French rugby team returned to victory against the United States on Saturday October 5. After a worrying defeat against Canada, a week ago for their inaugural WXV match, the Blues resumed their march forward by winning 22-14 in Langley (Canada).
The French quickly took the lead in this part thanks to a 20-meter penalty from Lina Queyroi (9th). A few minutes later, after a good sequence, winger Marine Ménager scored the first try of the match (23rd).
Liberated, the tricolors continued in the second act. Romane Ménager, imitated her sister with a second try (44th), before Teani Feleu also went behind the line (47th). The Americans reduced the score with Rachel Johnson (57th) and Hallie Taufoou (80th+2). With this victory,he players of Gaëlle Mignot and David Ortiz reassured themselves a little before playing their last meeting of the year against New Zealand on October 12 in Vancouver.
