Released by the staff of the XV of France along with 16 other players, the third wing line and the three-quarter center will be on the Mayol pitch during the Lyon reception (9th day of Top 14). Gabin Villière is out of the group.
In recent years, several players from Toulon, value et Cool in the lead, were used to traveling back and forth between Marcoussis and the banks of the Mediterranean. Among those returning, this time, there was the third row Charles Ollivon. The former captain of the XV of France suffered the full brunt of competition in his position, and was therefore left at the disposal of the RCT.
According to our information, the kid from Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle was present on the starting side during the captain's training, before the Lyon reception on Saturday afternoon (kick-off at 4:30 p.m.). His investment has been described as “total”. In front of the press, Pierre Mignoni gave news of the person concerned: “Obviously, I didn't expect him to come back. You know, the France team will have a match against Japan, and there will be two others. You have to ask them the question of whether they want to try new players. Charles is of course happy to return. As planned, he will leave on Sunday evening. At the moment, he is focused on Toulon. is a boy who remains a conqueror, and who will accompany us tomorrow, for our match.”
Scheduled among the starters at the start of the week, Ludlam is paying the price for this return to the “Grand Charles” club. The latter will form a trio with Facundo Isa and Esteban Abadie.
Villière did not participate in the captain's training
Another major comeback, that of Antoine Frisch. The center, which is in the process of becoming familiar with its new environment, performed well during Toulon's last reception, at Mayol, against Montpellier. Returning yesterday to the Var side, the former Munster player formed, according to our indiscretions, the pair with Mathieu Smaïli, who will thus have a second consecutive start after that of Toulouse last week. During training open to the public on Wednesday, Smaïli trained in a duo with Jérémy Sinzelle.
On the other hand, Var supporters will not see Gabin Villière on the Mayol meadow. After his return to general surprise within the Blues group, the winger was left, according to our indiscretions, to rest by Pierre Mignoni and his staff.
