Asked by the Teamthe attack coach of the XV of France, Patrick Arlettazspoke about the competition between Thomas Ramos and our opening half, Matthieu Jalibertfor the position of opening half of the XV of France: “ At the high level, there is never evidence. We have a choice to make between two very great players who are Thomas (Ramos) et Matthieu (Jalibert) with two very different profiles. Matthieu is having an incredible season, he is an outstanding attacker. Thomas is also a very good attacker, more into reading. It’s a luxury for us to have them. We ended the Tournament with Thomas which brought us a lot of satisfaction, even though the team was very disorganized. He also scored the winning penalty against England (33-31) and led the game against Wales (24-45 victory), one of our most successful matches. You have seen our sensitivity on the chasubles (with Ramos starter) in training this week, but a lot can still change between now and the announcement of the team composition« .
