France secured a dramatic comeback victory over Ireland in the Women’s Rugby World Cup quarter-finals, winning 18-13 after trailing 13-0 at halftime. Ireland’s strong first-half performance, marked by tries from Linda Djougang and Stacey Flood, was bolstered by France’s two yellow cards. However, the match turned in the second half as France rallied with 18 unanswered points. Morgane Bourgeois initiated the comeback with a penalty, followed by tries from Charlotte Escudero and Joanna Grisez. Despite Ireland’s efforts to regain control, including a late offensive push, they could not score again, leading to France’s advancement to the semi-finals. This match highlights Ireland’s unsuccessful quest for their first semi-final appearance since 2014 and continues France’s dominance over Ireland since their last defeat in 2017.
