Two French teams qualified for the quarter-finals of the Hong Kong tournament. The Blues beat Brazil and Great Britain to validate their ticket for the quarters.
The French will continue with a third and final group match against Fiji (7:43 a.m. French time) A victory would allow them to secure first place in the group but is not essential since qualification has already been achieved. The last match of the group stage, against New Zealand, is scheduled for this Saturday at around 6:57 a.M.
