for a legend, a Toulouse resident has “a place to take” during the Six Nations

This Six Nations Tournament could see the emergence of several young players. If the starting XV has changed little for the Blues in months, injuries and poor form, combined with the emergence of certain profiles, should lead Fabien Galthié and his staff to make several changes. We think in particular of the third line, missing Ollivon, or even of the center pair, while Fickou is absent and Danty seems to be withdrawn. If Moefana and Depoortere seem in pole position to be associated, Olivier Magne would like to see a player from Stade Toulousain knocking on the door.

Magne wants to see Barassi

According to the former captain of the Blues, Pierre-Louis Barassi deserves to be a starter given his start to the season, as he told At the time of Rugby : “Honestly, given what I have observed from Toulouse this season, Barassi, for me, he has a place to take. Afterwards, there is Émilien Gailleton who I would like to see associated with Barassi, why not? Because he made a good start to the French team. We know the conditions in which he was taken, and then not taken into the French team (he missed the two World Championships that he could have played in 2023, editor's note). I think he deserves to be rewarded too. But then there are people. Moefana is going to be there, obviously. And then, Fickou may be back during the Tournament. » The first training sessions next week should give clear trends for the match against Wales.
