At home, in Toulouse, the Habs dominated Australia in the quarter-finals (21-19) and opened the doors to the semi-finals of the Sevens Series stage organized at the Ernest-Wallon stadium.

This Saturday, Thibaud Mazzoleni scored the first try of the game to give the French the advantage, but Nick Malouf took advantage of an error by the French defense to restore his team to equality. And Ben Dowling even allowed Australia to take control at the break (7-14), finishing in the in-goal after a long action.

Then, William Iraguha took advantage of excellent work by Esteban Capilla to finish in the in-goal and restore the advantage to the Habs (21-19). In the semi-finals, the Blues will face Ireland. The meeting will take place on Sunday at 2:14 p.m. The other half opposing the Fijians, stunning winners of the Americans (19-17), Samoa (2:36 p.m.).
