Gabrielle Vernier: 'We're not far off an achievement' against England

Gabrielle Vernier has faced England nine times in her career. And never, never has the French women’s centre beaten the Red Roses. The closest they have come is 20 points, a 10-33 home defeat on 14 November 2020 in Grenoble. Twice the margin has been just two points: 17-15 at Exeter on 16 November 2019 and by the exact same score at Villeneuve-d’Ascq on 30 April 2021.
