two players from the French XV left injured, new headache for Fabien Galthié?

Halftime of the match between La Rochelle and Leinster arrives in a few minutes. The Maritimes are trailing 10 to 6 at the time of writing and this is unfortunately not the only bad news since a member of the team, a French international, had to leave the pitch. Uini Atonio gave way to Georges-Henri Colombe.

Fate attacks the pillars of La Rochelle

Visibly hit in the knee, Uini Atonio did not come out immediately. He held out for a few minutes through gritted teeth but finally left his partners to let his young teammate take over. La Rochelle loses one of its executives for the rest of this Franco-Irish clash, and perhaps for other matches? We will have to see the next information. But this physical problem could be an additional blow for Fabien Galthié, who must announce his list of 42 players in a few days.

Note that a few minutes later, the other international pillar, Reda Wardi, also had to give up his place because of a rib problem. He was replaced by Alexandre Kaddouri.
