55 to 0. This is the correction that the French had inflicted on the Scots during the Women's Six Nations Tournament in 2023. A victory acquired in Vannes during which the Blue scored nine tries.
Still not enough to dominate the Tournament, won once again by England after an exhilarating crunch. This year, the players of David Ortiz and Gaëlle Mignot hope to break the domination of the English. This requires important victories.
The first was won against Ireland on Saturday, enough to avenge their male counterparts. At Le Mans, the French were able to show themselves serious, even gleaning the offensive bonus to win 38 to 17 with five tries from Bourdon, Ménager, Fall, Sochat and Riffonneau.
Les Bleues hope to continue the long road which will lead them to a possible “final” against England on April 27. First, we will have to beat Scotland, surprise winner of Wales (20-18) on the first day of the tournament. Since their beating by the Bleues last year, the XV du Chardon has not lost a single match.

Even if the Blues are used to beating the Scots in the Six Nations, they will have to be wary of their opponent, who is experiencing a great rise in power. In the world rankings, Scotland is in 6th place, the highest rank in its history.
The second day of the Women's Six Nations tournament between Scotland and France can be followed this Saturday March 30 at 3:15 p.m. on France 2.
