On the other hand, winger Théo Attissogbe (3 selections) is one of the 20 in the group of 43 called up to prepare for the Tournament made available to their clubs this weekend. The Landais is therefore available to face ASM, reinforced by his 3rd line Killian Tixeron who is also released. The Blues staff will once again be able to count on 42 players next week before welcoming the Welsh at the start of the competition. Fourteen will join their club on Wednesday, while the championship will take a break next weekend.

First since 2004?
If Gailleton and Auradou were in the 23 against the XV du Poireau, it would be the first time since France – England (24-21) on March 27, 2004 and the joint selections of Damien Traille and Imanol Harinordoquy, that two Palois are on the field with the rooster's jersey during a match in the 6 Nations Tournament. For the moment, nothing is certain, even if the 2nd line Thibaud Flament, essential, was injured and in the same position, Emmanuel Meafou was preserved.
This Wednesday for the first full training session of the Blues, Auradou also joined the rotation of potential starters. In the center, Bordelo-Béglais Yoram Moefana was among the starters, alongside Toulouse Pierre-Louis Barassi (26 years old, 3 caps), in great form at the moment and finally spared from injuries. In the absence of Louis-Bielle Biarrey, who suffered from dizziness on Sunday and whose return is hoped for this week, Toulonnais Gabin Villière took place on one wing, Damian Penaud occupying the other.

-Ntamack back
Seventeen months after his last match in Blue due to injuries, Ntamack (25 years old, 37 caps) occupied the opening with a chasuble dedicated to the holders, while Ramos, who replaced him in November, found his preferred position at the back. Ntamack was associated at the hinge with scrum half and captain of the Blues Antoine Dupont, returned from Rome where he participated on Tuesday in the official launch of the Tournament with coach Fabien Galthié.
On the front line, Toulon left pillar Jean-Baptiste Gros, who has only played one match since his hamstring injury at the end of November against Argentina, should also start, rather than his teammate Dany Priso or the Toulousain Cyril Baille, back from a serious ankle injury.
