Since the start of the fall tour, coach Fabien Galthié has not hesitated to make strong choices. For the first test against Japan (52-12), Charles Ollivon, the former captain with 45 caps, found himself in the stands. Gaël Fickou and his 92 selections, a continuous starter since the 2019 Tournament, started on the substitutes' bench. Ditto for Matthieu Jalibert despite Romain Ntamack's injury. It was Thomas Ramos who played at the opening. Rebelote against New Zealand (30-29). This time Matthieu Jalibert was, at his request, sent home to Bordeaux.
