With two changes compared to the XV announced Thursday and published below: winger Joanna Grisez, regular international Sevens who scored a double last Sunday in Wales (victory, 0-40), withdrew this Saturday.

A record attendance (around 27,000 spectators), an opponent who could not be more prestigious… Everything comes together for a great show.
