That year, before the victory over Spain, Brazil lost to Ireland by 24-12, beat Colombia by 33-0, was surpassed by Japan by 19-10. “We are happy to beat Spain because they finished in our ahead in the last season, but now we start the new season in the front”, commented Luiza Campos, captain of the Yaras, to the advice of the Brazilian Confederation of the sport. “It was not the tournament we were expecting because we wanted to have beaten Ireland in the round of 16 and then Japan. But in the last game against Spain we were able to play a little bit of what we would have liked”, said Will Broderick, Brazil coach.
