No points conceded by the Tricolores
The two teams have already qualified for the quarter-finals, but will face each other for first place in the group. The French made a strong impression by not conceding a point in their first two matches (Brazil 26-0; Japan 49-0).

Reducing Americans’ scores
The Blues were surprised behind their defense, having left a gap in the center of the field. The American then sprinted 60 meters to flatten out. The test is transformed.

Double for Okemba!
At one last opportunity after a scrum and before the end of the first period, the winger raced toward the American goal again.

On the way to a medal?
David Courteix’s players are currently following the golden path traced by the men’s rugby sevens who became Olympic champions on Saturday 27 July. For their participation in the competition, the Blues easily disposed of Brazil (26-0) and Japan (49-0). Results: 11 attempts recorded and plenty of confidence for those who achieved silver three years ago in Tokyo.
