Women's Rugby World Cup Semi-Final Preview: France vs England - Anticipated Results, Roster Updates, Betting Strategies, and Odds
England and France are set to face off in an eagerly anticipated semi-final match of the Women's Rugby World Cup, taking place on Saturday, September 20 at Ashton Gate, Bristol.
The Red Roses, who have not lost a match in their last 31 games, secured their place in the semi-finals with a convincing 40-8 victory over Scotland in the quarter-finals. Their opponents, France, showed resilience in their 18-13 win against Ireland, coming from behind to secure their spot.
England's last encounter with France was a warm-up match this summer, which ended in a 40-6 victory for the Red Roses. However, France are expected to pose a physical challenge in the semi-final. They have never reached a World Cup final and have lost eight times in the semis, with three of those losses against England.
The coach of the French Red Roses rugby team at the 2021 Women's Rugby World Cup is Thomas Darracq. England have scored 38 tries at this World Cup, with 22 of them coming from their forwards. The handicap for the semi-final is set at more than 20 points, indicating a potential dominance by England.
Despite their impressive form, the semi-final match should not be taken lightly. France have shown the ability to come back from large deficits, as seen in their 31-7 defeat to England in the Six Nations decider. The match will start at 3.30pm, and the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final promises to be an exciting contest.
While no betting tips or predictions are provided in this context, it's clear that England will be favourites going into the match. However, France have the potential to push them all the way, making for a thrilling and unpredictable clash.
In a different context, the 2023 men's tournament saw South Africa thrashed New Zealand 35-7 at Twickenham but lost to them by a small margin in the final. This serves as a reminder that even the most dominant teams can be challenged, and the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final is sure to be no exception.
So, mark your calendars for Saturday, September 20, as England and France battle it out in the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final. It's set to be a day of exciting rugby action!
