Stade Français will once again have its two sections, women's and men's, at the highest level of French rugby for the 2023-2024 season. The Pink Rockets, who suffered relegation last season, will not have lingered in Elite 2. Thanks to their 22-3 victory this Saturday at the Sainte-Germaine stadium, in Bouscat, in the suburbs of Bordeaux, against La Rochelle in the final of the second division, the Ile-de-France women offer themselves the right to return to the Elite 1.
