Rugby Victory Celebration: Resurgence of the Blues as They Outplay Brazil

In the world of women's rugby, the French national team showcased their prowess once again, defeating Brazil with a commanding score of 84-5 on August 31st, 2025. However, the team's second-half performance may have played a part in them not breaking the record for the biggest win at the World Cup.

The first half of the match saw France take a substantial lead, with a half-time score of 17:45 (84-5). The French team scored 14 tries in total, with Morland, Bourdon, Arbey, Deshayes, and Boulard each scoring one try, and Boulard adding two more for a personal tally of three.

The most memorable moment of the day for Brazil came when Bianca Silva scored the team's only try, marking Brazil's first ever World Cup try. This achievement is a testament to Brazil's resilience and determination in the face of a formidable opponent.

The victory over Brazil has boosted the French team's confidence, but it has not been enough to break the record for the biggest win at the World Cup. The record, set by France in 1994 against Japan with a score of 99-0, remains unbroken.

As group leader in Pool D, France has already qualified for the quarters, along with South Africa who also won their first two matches. The outcome of the final match between these two teams will determine the group leader and decide the French team's quarter-final opponent.

Meanwhile, Pool D is paired with Pool C, featuring New Zealand and Ireland. The final of the Women's World Cup will be played next Sunday, where the French team will be aiming to secure the trophy and cement their place as the best women's rugby team in the world.
