Rugby women in their sights: Reims could host the VI National tournament!

On Friday, October 11th, Floiran Grill and Pascale Mercier presented themselves, which works both in the League of the Grand Est and in the leadership committee of the French Rugby Association (FFR). Mercier took the opportunity to encourage local politicians to work for this opportunity.
At this encounter, Raphaël Blanchard, the sports director of the city of Reims, as well as Guillaume Maréchal, Vice President of the Regional Council Grand Est, were also present. The two listened carefully when Mercier pointed out that the FFR would start a tender in the near future to set a location for the game between France and Wales on Saturday, April 12th.

For the upcoming game, the Stade Auguste-Delaune in Reims and the Stade Louis-Dugauguez in Sedan are considered. Both stadiums have already organized international feminism in the past.
