The Usapiste Giorgi Beria was released by the XV of France this Wednesday evening, just like Matthieu Jalibert and Maxime Lucu. Second row Thibaud Flament forfeits.
It was expected, and it's now official. USAP left pillar Giorgi Beria was released by the staff of the XV of France this Wednesday evening. Having left for Marcoussis on Monday after returning from Parma with the blood and gold club, the 25-year-old left-hander was spared on Tuesday before training on Wednesday with the rest of the France group.
He therefore returns to Perpignan this Wednesday to prepare for the reception of Bayonne in the Top 14 with the USAP (Saturday 4 p.m.).

23 players remained in Marcoussis to prepare for the first match of the French XV against Wales (Friday January 31 at 9:15 p.m.): hookers Julien Marchand and Peato Mauvaka, left props Cyril Baille and Jean-Baptiste Gros, right pillars Uini Atonio and Georges-Henri Colombe, the second lines Hugo Auradou, Joshua Brennan, Mickaël Guillard and Emmanuel Meafou, the third lines Grégory Alldritt, Paul Boudehent, François Cros, Oscar Jégou, the scrum halves Antoine Dupont and Nolann Le Garrec, the fly-half Romain Ntamack, the centers Pierre-Louis Barassi, Émilien Gailleton and Yoram Moefana, the wingers Louis Bielle-Biarrey (back this Wednesday in Marcoussis) and Damian Penaud, and full-back Thomas Ramos.
-Among the 20 players released is Toulouse second row Thibaud Flament. In great form in recent weeks, number 4 is out of this first match of the Tournament due to a muscular problem. It also remains uncertain for the trip to England on Saturday February 8 (5:45 p.m.).
Note, also, that the Bordeaux hinge Maxime Lucu-Matthieu Jalibert was released, as was the Toulon winger Gabin Villière or the second row racingman Romain Taofifenua.
