The fall tour of the XV of France was marked by clear decisions from Fabien Galthié. And it doesn't seem ready to stop.
After leaving Charles Ollivon in the stands and Gaël Fickou on the bench against Japan, then sending Matthieu Jalibert home before facing the All Blacksit is Grégory Alldritt who could be the next to pay the price for the muscular management of the coach. The FFR indicated that the composition will be officially announced this Wednesday at 11 a.m.

One last test without Alldritt?
According to information from The Teamrelayed by Dicodusport, Grégory Alldritt may not be on the scoresheet for the final test against Argentina this Friday at the Stade de France. A rarity for the Rochelais (52 selections), a real framework for Galthié's first mandate. The last time he didn't start a match in blue? It was already against… Argentina, in the fall of 2021.
Instead, the third line could see the return of François Cros, recovered from his concussion against Japan, alongside Paul Boudehent and a number 8 still to be determined: Alexandre Roumat or Charles Ollivon, depending on the latest training sessions. training. A configuration which would leave Alldritt in the stands, a strong choice from Galthié for this last shock of the tour.
Atonio back, Colombe in backup?
Another position under surveillance: that of right pillar. With the Tevita Tatafu package (ankle, 8 weeks), It is Uini Atonio who should find a starting place, provided that his calf holds up. George-Henri Colombe, heroic against the All Blacks despite suffering from gastro, could start on the bench.

Stability for the rest of the team
If these two adjustments are confirmed, the rest of the starting XV should be renewed. No revolution in sight, Galthié seems to want to capitalize on the group which brought down the All Blacks (30-29). On the bench, a replacement will nevertheless have to be found for Romain Taofifenua, victim of a concussion.
The Blues have shown that they know how to adapt, and this last test against the Pumas could well be an opportunity to confirm the depth of the squad. With or without Alldritt, the objective is clear: finish the tour in style.
