After missing the 2023 World Cup as well as the 2024 6 Nations Tournament, Romain Ntamack relapsed just before the November tour. We haven’t seen him with the French XV for more than a year and a half and during that time, others have shone at the opening half position.
What will be the frameworks of Fabien Galthié during the next 6 Nations Tournament ? and like d’Antoine Dupont is assured, also with the hooker Peato Mauvakathe others are not really safe! The last tour showed it, since the coach did not hesitate to rotate, sometimes even depriving himself of his most faithful soldiers like Grégory Damn it or even Charles Ollivon.
Romain Ntamack in danger
Thus, we saw Matthew Jalibert be downgraded in favor of a Thomas Ramos who is usually a full-back, but who has performed excellently at fly-half. This is particularly the case against New Zealand or even theArgentinewith the player of Toulouse Stadium who has always started alongside his club teammate, Antoine Dupont. The two Frenchmen have also been cited by most specialist media, in the typical XV of this November tour.
“Ramos started to like it”
The services of Thomas Ramos have impressed so much, that a few weeks before the start of the 6 Nations Tournament some wonder if he won’t be the starter in 10… instead of a certain Romain Ntamack. « Ntamack is struggling to come back and Ramos has gained depth in this opener position » estimated Vincent Moscatoon RMC Sport. « He has all the characteristics of Ntamack, who for his part does not play! And when you don’t play, you go backwards. He took his place ».
