The French team won 33-5 in Wales. After four wins in as many games, the Habs are in the running for a Grand Slam.

Gaëlle Hermet, captain of the women’s XV of France, winner of Wales 33-5, at the microphone of France 3 :

«We thought it was a semi-final. The objective is achieved, we have validated this penultimate match. The hardest part remains to be done (against England), we can say that it will be a final for a Grand Slam. Now there is only. We will play in front of an incredible audience, I think in Bayonne. All conditions will be met. We know who we will have to deal with, so we will work very hard on this last week. You will have to be on top mentally to be able to win this match.»

Jessy Trémoulière, opening half of the XV of France women, at the microphone of France 3 :

«We are going to save the score, but there is always this frustration of the second half where we cannot put the forward gear to go to score. We said to ourselves this week that we had to erase all that a bit and let go. Faults in the hand cost us dearly and especially faults in the rucks which made us fall back in our camp. We are also there to try things, to have fun. We saw that some things had worked in the second half, we got through, but he lacked continuity behind.»
