Fabien Galthié revealed the French composition which will face Japan this Saturday (9:10 p.m.).
It was what was expected. This Thursday, Fabien Galthié did not pull anything new out of his hat and lined up the team which trained with the starting bibs this Tuesday and Wednesday in Marcoussis.
Thus, to face Japan (Saturday, 9:10 p.m.), for the first match of the November tests, the staff of the French XV chose to start Thomas Ramos at the opening rather than Matthieu Jalibert, on the bench. The Blues will therefore be driven by a Toulouse hinge, with the return as captain of Antoine Dupont. This benefits Léo Barré, holder in 15 therefore.
The real surprise of this composition, but which we expected, is the confirmation of Yoram Moefana in 12, in the center, alongside Emilien Gailleton. The Bordelais and the Palois were preferred to the experienced and usual defense captain Gaël Fickou, on the bench.
In front, the new French international, Tevita Tatafu will experience his first start on the front row, on the right, alongside Jean-Baptiste Gros, on the left, and Peato Mauvaka, on the heel. Alexandre Roumat is confirmed on the third row, in 7.
