Before winning, again amply, against Brazil 31-5. The French then achieved their best performance of the weekend against the Canadians in the wake of an untenable Coralie Bertrand with a hat-trick registered in the first period (29-10).
New success without appeal against the Japanese (43-5).
To find Canada in the final.
A double from Anne Cécile Ciofani ideally launched the Blue, who led 12-0 at the break.
The Canadians managed to equalize but, 30 seconds from the end of regulation time, Coralie Bertrand delivered the Tricolores by pushing the ball to the foot in the in-goal to register the 3rd French try (17-12).
