France - Italy: The Blues finally launch their adventure in this Rugby World Cup
Finally breaking the curse? The French women's rugby team opens its World Cup campaign with a clash against Italy. In nine World Cup appearances, Les Bleues have finished third seven times. This may be the year when hopes of a major final are justified. First, they must beat Italy and make the same strong start as four years ago. France then thrashed South Africa (40-5).
Facing Les Bleues are the Italian women. The Italian team gained a lot of confidence during a warm-up match against Japan, winning 33-15. In this Group D, which also includes South Africa and Brazil, the Italian women will be keen to take one of the top two spots to progress to the next stage of the competition. This match against France is already a huge test and almost a group final before its time.
