Game play, precision in gestures and six tries: Les Bleues, led by their scrum-half Laure Sansus, impeccable and logically named "woman of the match", delighted the public at the Ernest-Wallon stadium, against the valiant Irish women but outdated, and whose non-qualification for the next World Cup in New Zealand (October 8-November 12) seems altogether logical.

Seven changes 

After the victory against Italy, last Sunday in Grenoble (39-6), whose score did not reflect the messy start of the game of the Blue, the coach Annick Hayraud had pointed out several areas to improve, including the conquest, and operated seven changes in the starting XV compared to that aligned against the Italians.

The coach was more than heard: the tenure of Laure Sansus as N.9 brought pep to the game, which has gained in intensity and control, erasing the clumsiness and inaccuracies seen in Grenoble.

At half-time, the Bleues were already far ahead (26-0) thanks to four tries, all signed by the locals of the stage: the Blagnacaises Melissande Llorens (13th), Audrey Forlani (31st) and Clara Joyeux (38th). ) and Toulouse's Laure Sansus (24th).

Back from the locker room, the French continued their demonstration, adding two tries, including a second for Sansus, while the Irish managed to save the honor thanks to their center Eve Higgins.
