Wednesday November 20, Fabien Galthié revealed team composition of the XV of France for the last match of the fall tour.
To face theArgentineFriday November 22 (9:10 p.m.) at the Stade de France, the coach of the Blues decided to operate 4 changes.
XV of France: 4 changes against Argentina
The main notable fact is to see Grégory Alldritt, starter against Japan and the All Blacks, being completely absent from the match sheet. The No. 8 from La Rochelle, 51 caps, left after 48 minutes against New Zealand, gives way to Toulonnais Charles Ollivon (45 caps), who will start a match for the first time during this fall tour.
Recovered from his concussion, on the 3e Toulouse line, François Cros, returns among the starters. He succeeds his club teammate, Alexandre Roumat, who slides onto the finishers' bench.
Finally, with the withdrawal of Tevita Tatafu from the right pillar position, the Blues staff had to make a choice between Atonio and Colombe. It is ultimately the captain of La Rochelle, Uini Atonio (62 caps), absent during the first two tests due to calf discomfort, who will start the match. George-Henri Colombe, who lasted 70 minutes against the All Blacks despite contracting gastro the day before, will start the match on the bench.
Finally, Léo Barré returns to the full-back position to the detriment of Romain Buros.

The starting XV: Barred; Villière, Fickou, Moefana, Bielle-Biarrey ; (o) Ramos, (m) Dupont (chief) ; Boudehent, Olivon, Cros ; Meafou, Flament ; Atonio, Mauvaka, Gros.
Substitutes: Marchand, Wardi, Colombe, Guillard, Roumat, Gazzotti, Le Garrec, Gailleton.
First for Marko Gazzotti
On the finishers' bench, a little novelty. Victim of a concussion against the All Blacks and forfeited for this match against Argentina, Racingman Romain Taofifenua is replaced by Bordeaux player Marko Gazzotti. The 2023 U20 world champion should therefore experience his first selection under the jersey of the XV of France.
