“As we well know, playing against Italy is always hard and doing it in Italy is even more difficult, but now that we have won, we have aim to the top: we want to become the tournament Champions”. Ian Jason, leader of the French women’s rugby sevens team, does not mince words in order to explain their aim in this Universiade 2019, after the match against the Italian team at the ex-NATO base in Bagnoli, during the group stage played on July 6th. Student of the Faculty of Sport at Paul Sabatier University of Tolosa in France, born in 1997, Ian Jason wants to keep playing in the French rugby team and, perhaps one day, to participate in the Olympic games, where this discipline has been introduced only recently.
