Opposite trajectories but similar result. The French men's and women's teams both qualified for the quarter-finals of the Seven Nation Series in Dubai.
Four months after their Olympic title, the French septists, without Antoine Dupont, launched their tournament with victories against Kenya and Australia, before losing to South Africa. They face Fiji in the quarterfinals, Sunday December 1 (8:32 a.m.). The French dominated the Fijians in the final of the Paris Games this summer (28-7), a real feat at home.

The journey, however, was much more laborious for the French septists. Getting off to a bad start in the tournament, the Blues lost their first two matches against Spain and England, before putting in a major performance against the Americans. A success which allowed them to validate their ticket for the next round. The French will meet the United States in the quarterfinals on Sunday December 1 (7:32 a.m.).
