International hooker Julien Marchand (29 years old, 37 caps) did not appear in the list of 42 players called by Fabien Galthié to prepare for the fall tour. Due to muscle discomfort, he had been left to rest. The hooker will appear in the list of 42 which will be communicated this Sunday.
Finally some good news. The XV of France, which must already be without Romain Ntamack or even Uini Atonio, will recover one of its executives in the person of Julien Marchand. The international hooker (29 years old, 37 caps) was not included in the list of 42 players called by Fabien Galthié to prepare for the autumn tour. Due to muscular discomfort, he was left to rest and available to his club.
The player is expected at Marcoussis this Saturday evening
However, he was deemed fit to return to competition. He will therefore appear in the list of 42 which will be communicated by coach Fabien Galthié this Sunday. According to our information, the player was even expected this Saturday evening at the National Rugby Center in Marcoussis in order to be able to work physically under the leadership of performance director Nicolas Jeanjean from Sunday morning.
