The FFR announced the absence of the Bordeaux winger at the first preparatory gathering for the Six Nations Tournament. He is replaced by Clermontois Killian Tixeront.
Victim of dizziness following inner ear disorders, Louis Bielle-Biarrey was forced to withdraw early this Sunday afternoon from the Champions Cup match between UBB and the Durban Sharks.
Between loss of balance and feeling of fatigue, LBB also withdrew from the first gathering of the French XV, which begins this Sunday evening in Marcoussis, to prepare for the Six Nations Tournament. The FFR announced his replacement by ASM winger Killian Tixeront.

The exact duration of Bielle-Biarrey's unavailability is not known. It will depend on the evolution of his state of health in the coming days. His withdrawal from the first match of the Tournament, on January 31 at the Stade de France against Wales, is therefore far from certain.
As a reminder, LBB has been shining brightly since the start of the season: twelve tries in twelve matches (all competitions combined) with UBB. And four more with the XV of France during the three tests in November.
