France duo out of eves’ Rugby WC semis as bans upheld
Gulf Today
|September 18, 2025
France's Axelle Berthoumieu will miss the rest of the Women's Rugby World Cup after an appeal panel upheld a ban for biting during last weekend's quarterfinal against Ireland.
-
French coach Gaelle Mignot then confirmed that fly half Lina Queyroi had not recovered from a concussion against Ireland and, like banned pair Berthoumieu and co-captain Manae Feleu, would miss the semifinal in Bristol against top seeds England.
Berthoumieu had appealed a 12-match ban for biting against Ireland and while the panel reduced her suspension to nine games she cannot play Saturday.
The 25-year-old will also miss the Sept. 27 finals day at Twickenham, when France will either be involved in a third-place playoff or the final itself.
