The France team will have to do without François Cros, Saturday November 16 (9:10 p.m.), against New Zealand. The third row, who received a blow to the head during last Saturday's victory against Japan (52-12), suffers from a concussion according to L'Équipe.

François Cros left at half-time of the victory against Japan (52-12) due to a blow to the head, the staff preferring not to take any risks. Despite everything, the news is not good at the start of the week. It would seem, according to The Team, that the third row of Stade Toulousain was the victim of a concussion. He will therefore not be able to play the Blues' second test match against New Zealand, Saturday November 16, at the Stade de France (9:10 p.m.).
Paul Boudehent tipped to replace him
This package will therefore force the Blues staff to make adjustments within their starting XV. Rochelais Paul Boudehent, replacing against Japan, is in pole position to make up for the absence of François Cros in the third row.

As already revealed a little earlier, coach Fabien Galthié already had in mind making some changes by, for example, launching fullback Romain Buros.
