It will therefore be France - Hungary in the quarterfinals of the World Championship.
The Blues inherit the defeated duel between Spain and Hungary in Group I which took place this Monday evening.
The Spaniards, double reigning European champions have not calculated and are imposed 36-28.

On the French side, we will obviously also know only on Wednesday around 10 p.m. whether playing the Hungarians was also good news.
Surprise team of the final roller coaster, the Magyar selection is one of the revelations of this World Cup.
She was behind the elimination of Germany, which the Hungarians beat 29-28.
It is also built with a strong framework of players from Veszprem, a European club handball giant where the Frenchman Quentin Mahé plays.
Present in the Final Four of the Champions League just before this World Cup, Veszprem was beaten in the small final by PSG.
An opponent who does not necessarily succeed at the Blues
In a World Cup, the Hungarian glory dates back to a silver medal in 1986. Last year, during the Euro that the Blues missed, Hungary took 9th place after finishing 10th in the World Championship 2 years ago.
However, he is not an opponent who is particularly successful for the France team either.
In 38 confrontations, the Blues have won 18 times.
The match will take place on Wednesday evening at 8:30 p.m. and will be broadcast live on TMC and BeIN Sports.
Sunday evening, the demonstration of Guillaume Gille's players against Portugal (32-23) was followed by 1.1 million viewers with a peak of 1.7 million.
Will they be as numerous on Wednesday evening?
In any case, the match is likely to be more indecisive.
