Women’s World Cup 2025-Surprise Carla Neisen, Mélissande Llorens-Vigneres and Emeline Gros Pas Retained… The list of France for the World Cup

The fateful moment has arrived. Of 38 elements, The staff of the XV of France, led by David Ortiz and Gaëlle Mignot had to reduce her workforce to 32 players. While she devoted herself to rugby at 7 in recent years, Carla Neisen has already been one of the surprises of the list for the preparation of This World Cup in England. The 29 -year -old player has visibly convinced because she is retained to cross the Channel. The Septist in the 21 CAPES in XV had already participated in the 2017 World Cup, in Ireland. “It is a very particular feeling to come back. It’s been three or four years since I had gave a foot to XV, apart from my Blagnac club. It is necessarily a lot of happiness. I am very, very happy. I did not necessarily expect it … It was a little surprise! When David Ortiz called me to tell me that I would be potentially in the enlarged group, I did not say that it was not to be a kind of waiting list. that I would necessarily be in the thirty-eight players for the preparation “she confided a few weeks ago.

The other surprises on this list are the players at zero selection. There is the left pillar Makarita Baleinadogo (23 years old). The player of the Bordeaux stadium took advantage of the Amber Mwayembe package, victim of a fracture of the right malleolus during Thursday training. Purists will remember his father, former Fijien International Daniele Baleinadogo, who passed by Aurillac, the Montois stadium or Mâcon several years ago. The third line of Bordeaux Khoudedia Cissokho (26) and the third line in Lyon Marie Morland (19) are the other two neophytes.

Six players discarded

In addition to Amber Mwayembe, six other players stayed at the quay. The most experienced is the third Emeline Gros line, with its 37 capes. Note that she had not, however, disputed the slightest meeting of the 6 nations 2025 tournament. Clara Joyeux and Mélissande Llorens-Vigneres, they had played three and two games respectively in the last tournament, in vain … The Septiste Lili Dézou, and Laure Touyé (29 capes) are also not retained, as well as Oceane Bordes (two capes, including one in the last 6 nations).

Separating from Toulouse is a strong choice. Indeed, Pauline Bourdon-Sansus is suspended for the next two meetings of France: against England in friendly on Saturday August 9, in Mont-de-Marsan, and, above all, the first meeting of the World Cup against Italy, fifteen days later. Alexandra Chambon will therefore be the only half of profession for profession for these two games.

As a reminder, the World Cup will launch for the Blue on August 23 in Exeter with a duel against Italy.
