Palais lose to France

Two tries from Joana Lagona wasn’t enough for the PNG Palais, who lost 31-10 in their third match of the HSBC World Rugby Women's Sevens Series 2016-17 in Sydney, Australia.

France took a 19-5 lead at the break last night and ran in another two tries to win the match.

Lagona’s tries came in the first and second half. The 28-year-old has scored four tries in three games at the tournament.

The Palais (who are yet to win a game) will play England later today at 11.28am local time (10.28 PNG time) in the semi-finals for the Challenge Trophy at Kippax Field.

The tournament was scheduled from Feb 3-4.
