This debate mainly concerns two players, Thomas Ramos and Matthieu Jalibert, who have been the most used in this position in recent months, but we must not forget that another Blue, and not just any player, could also be an option. . This Blue is Antoine Dupont.
Dupont opener during the match?
After putting the French XV on hold last season after the World Cup, the Stade Toulousain scrum-half is available again and we know that in Toulouse, he has already been repositioned at the opening, and with success . As Midi Olympique points out, there is a very strong tendency for Antoine Dupont to start in 9 but to be repositioned during the match, to form the hinge with another scrum half, Nolann Le Garrec.
If this option is retained, we must now see who will be the starting opener but here again, it seems that Thomas Ramos is the preference of the staff of the French team, in particular since his performances in this position in the last tournament of the 6 Nations.
To summarize
For the November tour (or at least the beginning), given that Romain Ntamack will not be there, we wonder who will be able to cover the opening half position. This debate mainly concerns two players, Thomas Ramos and Matthieu Jalibert, there is another option evaluated to form the hinge, with Antoine Dupont…
