Starting against Japan, the left pillar of the XV of France Jean-Baptiste Gros delivered a great performance. This did not escape our columnists in La Troisième-M-Temps.
In the absence of Cyril Baille, injured, Jean-Baptiste Gros did more than act as interim. The Toulon pillar undoubtedly achieved his best performance in the blue jersey against Japanhe who had his first cap during the 2020 6 Nations Tournament and remains a must-have of the Galthié era. But since that date, several injuries and sometimes lackluster performances with the RCT have cost him a demotion to number three in the minds of the staff in this left-handed position, behind the previously mentioned Toulouse and Reda Wardi who shared playing time.
But the 25-year-old, double U20 world champion, produced a very good copy against the Brave Blossoms with, in particular, an essay and a 17 out of 17 on defenseall in just 52 minutes! This obviously did not escape our journalists who returned to this performance in The Third Half.
