Rugby-Another selection blow for France ahead of semi-final clash


BRISTOL, England (Reuters) - France have suffered another blow in the build-up to Saturday’s Women’s Rugby World Cup semi-final against heavily fancied England with the injury withdrawal of star winger Joanna Grisez.

She suffered a thigh injury and missed training during the week but had been included in the team to take on the hosts when it was named on Thursday in the hope she would be ready for the clash at Ashton Gate.
