The November tour was full of twists and turns, especially with the sometimes very surprising choices. This is particularly the case with Grégory Alldritt, who after being a starter against Japan and New Zealand, was a reserve for the last test match in November against Argentina (37-23).
Everyone already knew that the French tank is impressive, but we had proof of it during this November tour. Fabien Galthié has in fact often changed the face of XV of France over the course of the meetings, with in the end three victories out of three possible, notably against the All Blacks.
“Ollivon had a very classy attitude”
However, certain choices have caused a lot of discussion, particularly with Charles Ollivonyet first captain of the era Galthié. « He had a very classy attitude. He first returned to the club to play in the Top 14. He then came on as a substitute against the Blacks, he had a very good start which allowed him to start against Argentina » explained Laurent Sempérécoach of the forwards of XV of Franceduring an interview given to Olympic Midday. « Anything but a coincidence. It's linked to his attitude and it's a good example for the group ».
“It especially shows the richness of our workforce”
Another leader of the XV of France experienced the opposite trajectory, since Grégory Damn it was a starter at the start of the tour, to finally end up as a reserve against theArgentine. « It above all shows the richness of our workforce » continued Sempéré. « Greg started in the first two matches, Charles showed that we had to reckon with him. Therefore, Greg came out. But it's just emulation. They remain two important leaders of the team “. It remains to be seen if Fabien Galthié will be able to keep this rotation during the next 6 Nations Tournament.
