In light of Tuesday’s training, Gregory Alldritt should give up his place at number 8 to Charles Ollivon. François Cros, returning from injury, is expected to start on Friday evening against the Pumas.
After the forceps victory recorded last weekend against New Zealand (30-29)the Tricolores returned to training this Tuesday evening, in Marcoussis. And if the adage is that we don’t change a team that wins – especially against the All Blacks – Fabien Galthié and his staff could nevertheless choose to carry out a slight turnover in view of the last test of the fall , scheduled for Friday evening against Argentina (9:10 p.m.).
In the light of today’s training and the traditional game of chasubles, we have already seen that it is Charles Ollivon who should wear the number 8 flocked jersey in this last test, in place of Gregory Alldritt, probably out of the France group for this match. In all likelihood, the La Rochelle third row, captain of the French selection during the 2024 6 Nations Tournament, would pay the price here for two final performances that were less impactful than usual. After having repositioned Gaël Fickou (against Japan) and Charles Ollivon (against the Brave Blossoms and New Zealand) on the sidelines, the management of the French XV is therefore well on its way to depriving itself – this time completely – the services of another of its indestructible executives. François Cros being back after a slight concussion, he logically regains his place of number 6.
Atonio should start on the bench against the Pumas
As expected, Uini Atonio, hampered for a long time by a calf injury, trained normally on the Marcoussis home field and, barring disaster, should thus find a starting place on Friday evening. George-Henri Colombe-Réazel will be on the bench.
Concerning the rest of the French team, no change is expected, Romain Buros, author of an essay on Saturday evening, and Yoram Moefana, less visible than usual against the All Blacks, visibly retaining their folding seats. holders. Bordelo-Béglais Marko Gazzotti should have his first selection.
The probable composition of the Blues: 15. Buros; 14. Villière, 13. Fickou, 12. Moefana, 11. Bielle-Biarrey; 10. Ramos, 9. Dupont (cap.) ; 7. Boudehent, 8. Ollivon, 6. Cros ; 5. New material, 4. Flament ; 3. Anthony, 2. Mauvaka, 1. Gros
Substitutes : 16. Marchand, 17. Wardi, 18. Colombe, 19. Guillard, 20. Roumat, 21. Gazzotti, 22. Le Garrec, 23. Gailleton
