Women's rugby has definitely lost the South.
The XV of France again largely dominated New Zealand this Saturday in Castres (29-7), a week after an already easy success in Pau (38-13).
Deprived of matches for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Black Ferns will return home with excess baggage, since they had already sunk twice in England (43-12 and 56-15) before cross the Channel.
The Blue, for their part, managed a faultless this fall, after starting their campaign with a first card against the South Africans (46-3), in Vannes.
It's over 😍🔥
Another huge performance from the Blue against New Zealand!

This Saturday, in a sold-out Pierre-Fabre stadium (11,300 spectators), they showed the way to the boys, also opposed to New Zealand in the evening, by scoring four tries (including a double from winger Marie- Aurélie Castel), for only one cashed.
Dominators in almost all sectors, especially in touch, they have especially gained an undeniable ascendancy over the Black Ferns, against which they now have four successes in a row.
World Cup goal
With less than a year before the next World Cup, which will take place in New Zealand from October 8 to November 12, 2022, Annick Hayraud's players are positioning themselves as credible candidates for the supreme title.
"We are able to double or triple in all positions and the quality of the group suffers," said the general manager of France.
We have pretensions and we want to give ourselves the means to reach them, to go for this title of world champions.
"
Until then, they will compete at the next VI Nations Tournament against their English bête noire, indisputable world number 1 at the moment.
