Berthoumieu banned for biting Wafer in blow to France before England clash
France's Women's Rugby World Cup campaign has suffered a significant blow as two key players have been suspended for their upcoming semi-final match against England. Flanker Axelle Berthoumieu has been given a 12-match ban for biting Ireland's Aoife Wafer during the quarter-final clash. The French captain, Manaé Feleu, has also been sanctioned for a high tackle in the same match and will also miss the semi-final. Both players are appealing the decisions, but if the suspensions stand, it will be a significant setback for the French team as they prepare to face their rivals England in a crucial match. The loss of these two players could have a significant impact on France's chances of advancing to the final.
