This first test is a real success for the French women. The XV of Francewomen disposed of South Africa (46-3) with ease on Saturday in Vannes thanks to their reshaped team.
Before their reunion, the French had not played since April 30 and a very frustrating defeat to England (17-15), their pet peeve. That evening, a failure of lighting, shortly after the hour of play, had ruined the hopes of reversal of situation of the “Hungry”, their nickname.
Chloé Jacquets and Caroline Drouin were the only ones to have donned the blue jersey since, with rugby sevens for the Olympics. The Stade Rennes N.10 came out before the hour mark after scoring nine points in front of the pole vaults and missing two conversions.

Gros and Ndiaye give each other two tries
Failures without consequences for her team, ultra-domineering in front of overwhelmed South Africans. The difference in level was also felt from the start of the meeting. Les Bleues were already leading 22-0 with three tries scored, including a double from the third row center Emeline Gros, before the half hour mark.
The second Safi Ndiaye line, like a steamroller, also flattened twice, just before the break and then back from the locker room. Caroline Boujard hit the nail on the head as the last quarter of an hour approached by sowing panic in the South African defense, on her right wing. The three-quarter Mélissande Llorens, 19, closed the offensive festival with a try for her first cape, before the Boks avoided a zero point.
A reassuring performance before facing twice New Zealand, reigning world champion, Saturday November 13 in Pau and Saturday November 20 in Castres.
