From the 1st to the 17th of August 2014, the best international women rugby players will meet in Marcoussis in Essonne (where Rugby Headquarters is headquartered, the National Rugby Center) and in Paris at the Jean Bouin stadium.
The 1st Women's World Cup of Rugby organized in France
For all those who would have missed the info (and RATP's 4500 buses dressed in the colors of female rugby), the 2014 World Cup rugby starts in a few days in France. And the players already announce that they are living "something crazy". In any case, they are aimed at the world title.
After winning her 4th Grand Slam at the 6 Nations Tournament in 2014, the French rugby team, coached by Nathalie Amiel and Christian Galonnier, wants to beat the World Cup. Les Bleues oval ball version dream of a final against the New Zealanders (winners of the last 4 editions) and a first world title.
Free shuttles to reach Marcoussis easily
The Rugby World Cup is sponsored by RATP. And this public service has decided to simplify the transport to attend the 24 games that will take place in Marcoussis.
To get there, it takes 45 minutes to reach the center of Paris and Marcoussis. Please note: a free shuttle service will be available to supporters from the Massy-Palaiseau railway station of the RER B to the National Rugby Center of Marcoussis.
And for those who do not live in the Paris region, France 4 and Eurosport share the broadcast of the matches of the Women's World Cup of rugby.
For Marie-Alice Yahé, former captain of the Blue rugby version, this World Cup in France is "an opportunity to change the image of our discipline and fight against the clichés."
Places for the Rugby World Cup are much cheaper than those of men's rugby
Places for the 2014 Rugby World Cup are available on the website of the French Rugby Federation .
Level prices, count between 5 € and 7 € to attend a meeting in Marcoussis, between 5 € and 25 € for a match at the Jean Bouin stadium of the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
We take advantage of it: these prices are much lower than those to attend a meeting of the XV of France. One more reason to go and discover this sport and these amateur players who exercise full time jobs in addition to their rugby training almost daily.
So, will the Blue go transform the test?
