“I can’t wait to discover this island,” the 15th woman in France travels to New Zealand

it is time. After long weeks of preparation in Andorra and then in Nice, Les Bleues will board a flight to New Zealand on Thursday.

“it’s magic”.

France’s 15th team, made up of nine Blagnakis and five Toulouse in particular, will start the World Cup finals against South Africa on Saturday, October 8. They are 32 of them, and for many, this is a great start: “It’s the first time I’ve been away from France. I haven’t traveled much, it’s something I have to separate, being away from your family. Living the World Cup at the other end of the world, it’s magic. There, rugby is a culture. I can’t wait to see what happens on this small island“Check out the young wing of Blagnac Melissande Llorens.

Mile Villebone of Toulouse also can’t wait to see New Zealand: “You wonder what rugby looks like in this famous country. In the den of international rugby. This is the Holy Grail.”

On an island where rugby is king, this still encourages caution: Melisande Lorenz adds: “Yes, of course, it puts more pressure. It’s a team that is one of the best in the world. We’ll do our best and try to get something.”

All blue matches are clearly available

From October 8, all French Women’s XV matches will be available on TF1. It will be necessary to get up early to support the France national team because the first match against South Africa will be played at 3:15 am. Before leaving, Les Bleues concluded his preparations with a defeat in Italy. Hopefully, they forgot to play South Africa, England and then Fiji in the group stage and qualify for the quarter-finals.
