The French rugby sevens team won its first two matches this Saturday in Dubai.
Perfect start for the French rugby sevens team in Dubai. The reigning Olympic champions have just won against Australia (14-10) at the end of a hard-fought match where defense took precedence over attack. For their entry into the competition, the reigning Olympic champions beat Kenya on the gong (24-19).
First in their group, the Blues will face South Africa at 5:44 p.m. to validate their qualification for the quarter-final. As a reminder, the French rugby sevens team is being rebuilt after the change of coach (Benoît Baby replaced Jérôme Daret). For this Dubai tournament, many young people like Pouzelgues (Toulouse), Hannoun (Bayonne) and Arfeuil (Pau) joined the group.
