This Saturday no less than twelve players from the list of 42 of the XV of France will be on the pitches of Top 14. Among them, Antoine Hastoy and Jonathan Danty will defend the colors of La Rochelle.
This Wednesday, Fabien Galthié released 19 of the 42 players summoned to prepare for the first match of the month of November for the French XV against Japan (November 9). Among these men released to their clubs, four will be exempt. First of all Yoram Moefana. Suspended following the red card received against La Rochelle, he cannot defend the colors of UBB this weekend on the occasion of the 7th chapter. On the other hand, Gabin Villière (Toulon) as well as the brothers Romain and Sébastien Taofifenua, respectively licensed at Racing 92 and Lyon, will not be requested.
As for the twelve other players involved this Saturday, they will be on deck. At the Mayol stadium in Toulon, Charles Ollivon will be the captain of the RCT while Antoine Frisch will play in the center against Lyon. Further north on the Marcel-Michelin side in Clermont, Régis Montagne will also start against four Girondins. Captain of the UBB, Maxime Lucu will lead among others Maxime Lamothe, Marko Gazzotti and Romain Buros. It is in Auvergne that they will be the most numerous, at the Hameau stadium there will nevertheless be two: Théo Attissogbé for Pau and Cameron Woki on the bench of Racing 92.
Hastoy and Danty replacements with La Rochelle
We will also find two players from Fabien Galthié's list in La Rochelle where Antoine Hastoy and Jonathan Danty will, however, be called upon in replacement roles. Like Lenni Nouchi with Montpellier traveling to Castres. Unless there is an injury or surprise on the part of the leader, all of these men will return to Marcoussis at the start of next week in view of the France – Japan scheduled at the Stade de France. As for the three Toulouse residents released in the middle of the week (Matthis Lebel, Anthony Jelonch, Joshua Brennan), we still do not know if they will be there on Sunday evening in prime time on the Aviron Bayonnais lawn.
