CANADIAN WOMEN BEAT FRANCE IN DIJON

Written By: admin on November 18, 2009 One Comment

Canada can finally exhale after ending their 11-year winless streak against France with a gritty 14-5 victory over the third place nation on Wednesday evening. Two second half tries and a full 80-minute defensive effort in front of a capacity crowd at Stade Bourillon in Dijon saw Canada let go of their decade-old French demons. This is a huge victory for the fourth-ranked nation, as they were atypically Canadian by boldly announcing they came to France expecting to win. The National Senior Women’s Team have been perpetual bridesmaids to the French at the last two World Cups, and prior to this evening’s victory, had only ever beat the European nation once.
