The French XV has unveiled the list of 42 players summoned to Marcoussis to prepare for the first match of the Six Nations Tournament, next Friday against Wales.
Five days before the opening match of the Six Nations Tournament against Wales, the French XV revealed the list of 42 days summoned to Marcoussis to prepare for the match – 23 will then be on the match sheet Wednesday evening at the Stadium from France. No surprises among the executives, all present, but Fabien Galthié nevertheless makes some changes.
Léo Barré, victim of a concussion with Stade Français this Saturday, is absent, like Thibaud Flament, injured in the calf and who should be away from the field for a few weeks. Alexandre Roumat returns to the list of 42, recovering from a muscle injury. He could make up for Flament's loss to start in the second row against the Welsh.
The Toulonnais who play this Sunday left out
The Blues staff only retained three left pillars (Baille, Gros and Beria) as well as three right pillars (Atonio, Colombe and Slimani). Up front, third row Maxime Beaudonne, Dylan Cretin, Temo Matiu and Lenni Nouchi were called up. On the other hand, the second row of Racing 92, Romain Taofifenua, was not recalled.
-Also note the absence of the Toulonnais playing this evening: Villière, Dréan, Priso, Halagahu. Not being intended to start the 23 and since they would not have been able to train before Wednesday following their match this Sunday against La Rochelle, the staff of the XV of France undoubtedly favored profiles available immediately.
This therefore leaves room for the Castres opener Louis le Brun and the Bayonnais Rémy Baget, who numerically replace Dréan and Villière. Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jégou, whose presence in the group caused controversy, are still present.
