If the cases of the internationals have not all been decided at the start of the week and if several of them have been left to rest, certain executives have returned to Ernest-Wallon from this Monday, to prepare for the trip to Racing 92 This is the case of Thomas Ramos, François Cros and Julien Marchand.
This Monday, two days after their big victory against Perpignan, Toulouse were back in training. And the big question is that of the internationals, who played the last autumn tour. As for the French players, full-back or fly-half Thomas Ramos, who played all three of the Blues' matches, was on the Ernest-Wallon side field. As a reminder, he had benefited from a week of vacation in October. He applies for the trip to Racing 92 on Saturday. Like flanker François Cros, who was arrested during the week of the match against New Zealand after his concussion against Japan. He is available for the Toulouse staff. Ditto for hooker Julien Marchand, who was a substitute with the Tricolores during the autumn break.
For the other internationals, the question will continue for a few more days. If the Japanese Naoto Saito was placed on leave, some were spared at the start of the week. They are hooker Peato Mauvaka, second rows Thibaud Flament and Emmanuel Meafou, third row Alexandre Roumat and scrum half Antoine Dupont. It's the same thing for the Argentinian Juan Cruz Mallia and the Scotsman Blair Kinghorn. However, if several of them will obviously not be traveling to Racing, some could resume in the coming days.
Brennan and Costes return
Also, it should be noted that Ange Capuozzo is present with the rest of the group. Like Cros, he suffered a concussion which deprived him of the second match of the tour with Italy. Among the good news, the second line Joshua Brennan (orbit floor) and the three-quarter center Paul Costes (ankle), packages against Usap, are back. They are fit for Saturday's meeting.
On the other hand, it is still too tight for Richie Arnold (shoulder) and it should be the same for Joel Merkler (back). Cyril Baille (ankle) should resume soon. Alban Placines (knee), Nepo Laulala (Achilles tendon) and Kalvin Gourgues are still absent.
