direct. Scotland – France: Les Bleus take nothing for granted in the 6 Nations tournament

Gabrielle Vernier finally came out, Morgan Bourgeois entered later. The marine manager slides to the center.

Khalfoi scratches the ball and the referee awards the first line. Bourdon Sansus plays his hands very quickly and finds small space. It opens on the sides, but the pass is poorly secured. The Blues get to the goal line… but the Scottish defense is in place and a penalty is awarded in return.

The French center suffered an unfortunate blow to the head from teammate Annale Deche. It returns to its place after a few minutes on the ground.

After the scrum, the Blues accelerate into the closed area. Queroi gives Arby a magnificent chistera on the bamboo. It is intercepted 5 meters from goal, but the forwards take possession. Conde has the ball for the try but how about on the reception. Another missed opportunity, too bad!

The French are not leaving the ball on the ground against the Scottish attack. Chardon picks the XV posts, but Nelson completely misses his kick, which looked well within his reach. We leave it there.

The Blues were rewarded with a penalty after the advantage was converted by Lina Queroi.

Socht’s throw is mistimed and this first bullet is lost for the Blues. loss. Yet they remain in the opposite camp.

Great run from the French third line that breaks through the defense and accelerates over 40m. Pauline Borden Sensus is the only one who, when her team-mate is tackled, is five meters from the line. The Scots take the opportunity to recover the ball, but there is a penalty for the Blues.

The Scots lose the ball after a missed pass, which leads to contact. For the moment, there are no flights in this part.

The Blues have the ball first in attack and multiply passes after contact. Pauline Borden Sensus pushes with the leg, but screws out. The touch is well received by the Scots, who attack again.

Khalfoui moves forward and offers Scotland the first scrum in midfield. It is conquered by thistle.

French begins.

The third tricolor celebrates its 60th cap this afternoon.

“This is a team with confidence, it will be tough and we expect a big fight”This week France warned behind Morgan Bourgeois’ XV.

This victory gave XV du Chardon a jump in the world rankings: they are now sixth, the first in their history.

Only one change from last week: Axel Barthomieu replaces Charlotte Escudero on the third row. Pauline Bourdon-Sanssus and Lina Queiroi will make up the hinge.

Les Bleues started their tournament ideally last Saturday, winning by a wide margin and with an offensive bonus against Ireland (38-17). They are joint top of the rankings with England, who crushed Italy (0-48). They must win if they want to believe in the final against the Red Roses at the end of April.
