World Cup in New Zealand in October

Our Bleues de France team is going through a crucial year. World Cup year. This was supposed to happen in 2021, but the pandemic would have delayed it by a year. So it retains its name Rugby World Cup 2021, but it will be held from October 8 to November 12, 2022 in New Zealand. Our women, who are ranked third in the world after England and New Zealand, will face South Africa (the 11th country in the world) on October 8 in Auckland, England the following week, and then Fiji (the 21st country in the world) in October. 22.

To prepare for this meeting as much as possible and try to thwart the expectations that give England the favourite, Bleues coach Thomas Darracq is having a stressful summer. They had already completed their first ten-day course in Marcuse to improve their physical condition and re-fit their game plan, and then spent ten days in Andorra. There, in the middle of the Spanish Pyrenees, Captain Gael Hermit’s teammates climbed several notches in intensity and combat. The penultimate stage of their preparation will begin this Tuesday, when they depart for a final training camp in Nice, where they will face Italy twice: on September 3 in Riviera, and on September 9 in Biella, Italy. Next, the staff will reveal a list of 32 lucky winners who will have the privilege of competing in the World Cup.
