The French women's XV begins the Six Nations Tournament this Saturday (3:15 p.m.) with an affordable match against Ireland at Le Mans. The objective is to lift a trophy, finally.

The Blues, who finished the 2023 Tournament in second place, then had an erratic run during the “WXV”, a new competition created by World Rugby last fall and won by… the English. Despite the doubts that could arise from these two defeats, France will have the advantage this year of hosting three times.
