After putting Gaël Fickou on the bench for France-Japan and Charles Ollivon in the stands, Fabien Galthié carried out a new choice strong among its executives during this fall tour 2024.
La Rochelle's No. 8, Grégory Alldritt, 51 caps, does not even appear on the France-Argentina match sheet, although he started in the victories against Japan and the All Blacks. During this latest success, however, he was replaced after 48 minutes of play.
Galthié on Alldrit: “There is no controversy”
“It’s not a decision that falls like a blade. We discuss with all the players, we tell them about trends, current forms, our desire to create emulation, but also recovery for others,” explained Fabien Galthié. It therefore seems very likely that Grégory Alldritt will be spared, he who has given so much for years.
“There is this match against Argentina, but also a vision which is the 2025 6 Nations Tournament with trips to Ireland and England. And then the 2027 World Cup. On this path, we have a very clear vision of the potential that we must both develop and regenerate,” continues Galthié.
This match against Argentina is therefore also an opportunity to see Toulonnais Charles Ollivon in the No. 8 position, his usual flanker for the Blues.
Grégory Alldritt is a captain, a leader, an exemplary player that all players want to follow. It will remain so. There is no controversy.
Jalibert also needed to regenerate
“There is no controversy”, as if to calm things down, a tranquility that Fabien Galthié is looking for after the Matthieu Jalibert episode. Moreover, the coach mentioned the case of Bordeaux following his explanation on the absence of Grégory Alldritt.
“This allows me to salute Matthieu Jalibert. There is no controversy with him. Matthew needed to regenerate. We discuss with him, and I find it unfortunate the amalgamation between the comments made towards a team which is heading towards a match, which needs strong words, and then players who also have other needs.
