Called by Fabien Galthié mid-week to prepare for the 2025 6 Nations Tournament with the French XV, Romain Taofifenua is out. He is replaced in the group by Mickaël Guillard.
The images did not predict anything good on Saturday evening: Romain Taofifenua was injured in the knee in the 45th minute of the match between Racing 92 and the Stormers in the Champions Cup. Called by Fabien Galthié on Wednesday during the announcement of the 42 selected before the 6 Nations Tournament 2025, the second row of Racing 92 is forfeited for the gathering of the XV of France. He is replaced in the blue group by Mickaël Guillard.
Guillard hasn't played since November
The latter has just returned from a sprained ankle and has not played since November 30. He did not participate in Lyon's recital against the Cheetahs in the Challenge Cup this weekend. Note that Louis Bielle-Biarrey was unable to play this weekend after feeling dizzy before the game against the Sharks. For the moment, there has been no question of a possible replacement in the France group.
