This will be one of the major projects for Fabien Galthié and his staff. In light of the Six Nations Tournament, the French XV has few certainties for its centers. The historic Danty-Fickou pair, already threatened by the young guard, will not be available for the start of the Tournament in any case. In their absences, Yoram Moefana, Emilien Gailleton, Nicolas Depoortère and even Paul Costes can claim a place in view of their rise in power. If the first named seems to have a head start to occupy the position of 12, there remain more questions as to who will accompany him.
Magne votes for Barassi
For Olivier Magne, if the young generation has shown solid promise, he is of the opinion to trust a man in form, in the person of Pierre-Louis Barassi, as he confided to the Olympic Midday : “Since last year there has been real emulation in midfield: Yoram Moefana, Emilien Gailleton, Nicolas Depoortere and Paul Costes all have great qualities. But given what he showed in the Champions Cup with Toulouse, Pierre-Louis Barassi deserves an opportunity. Right now he's great. » Often hampered by injuries in recent seasons, the Lyonnais has been impressive since the start of the season and hopes to continue his momentum to have a chance.
