LIVE | France-Italy: Follow the Women's Rugby World Cup match

Welcome to this live coverage of the first day of Pool D of the Women's Rugby World Cup, between France and Italy.

What's it all about? The French women's debut at this World Cup, held in England. After three bronze medals in the last three editions of the tournament, France is aiming for more in 2025. For their debut, Manae Feleu and her teammates will be back in Italy, a nation they know well. They'll be wary of the Azzurre, quarter-finalists in the 2022 edition, who often manage to unsettle them.

Where? Sandy Park in Exeter, England.

What time? Kick-off at 9:15 p.m.

On which channel? On TF1.
