D-5, already, before the clash between the XV of France and the All Blacks. Fabien Galthié and his staff revealed the 42 players selected to prepare for this match, and this group offered few surprises, with an absence of Théo Attissogbé due to injury, and the returns of Cameron Woki and Nolann Le Garrec. But regarding the team composition, should we expect new very strong choices from the Blues coach, with a new executive excluded from the starting XV?
Roumat instead of…Alldritt?
After Charles Ollivon and Jonathan Danty left the group, or Gaël Fickou relegated to a replacement role, could Grégory Alldritt lose his starting place? According to the latest revelations from Rugbyrama, there would be a small internal debate to place Alexandre Roumat in 8 in place of the captain of the Maritimes, Grégory Alldritt not having necessarily brought full satisfaction to the staff.
If this scenario is confirmed, Paul Boudehent could then become a starter on the wing of the third line. Simple noise from the corridor or real questions and desire for change? We should have more clarifications as the week goes on, with the famous high-intensity training sessions and their traditional chasuble game. Fabien Galthié has not accustomed us to making such changes during a competition. Let's see if he still offers us any surprises.
To summarize
D-5, already, before the clash between the XV of France and the All Blacks. Fabien Galthié and his staff revealed the 42 players selected to prepare for this match. But regarding the team composition, should we expect a new strong choice and a very surprising decision with a new executive removed from the starting XV?
