France's Triumph over Tenacious Wales in Women's Rugby

France defeated Wales in Women's Rugby, remaining on course for the title.

France's Victory in Women's Rugby

France overcame a determined Welsh side in Brive. Emilie Boulard crossed twice, and Manon Bigot scored just before half-time. Wales fought back with tries from Kate Williams and Gwen Crabb, but France's class prevailed with efforts from Manae Feleu, Lea Champon, and a penalty try.

The six-time champions now top the Women's Six Nations table. Wales' wait for a win under the new head coach continues.

The referee was Holly Wood, with Sara Cox and Maria Heitor as assistant referees, and Leo Colgan as the TMO.
