Injured, the right pillar of ASM Clermont, Régis Montagne, must leave Marcoussis while the Blues are in full preparation for their first test match of the fall tour, against Japan, this Saturday (9:10 p.m.) at Stade de France. Killian Tixeront, the Asemist third row, took advantage of Joshua Brennan's injury to go the opposite way.
There could have been three Clermontois in Marcoussis this week to prepare for the first test match of the Blues' autumn tour, scheduled for this Saturday at the Stade de France (9:10 p.m.), against Japan. There will ultimately only be two of them.
Having left on Sunday evening in the Paris region alongside center Léon Darricarrère, Régis Montagne is already forced to return to Auvergne. According to a press release from the French Rugby Federation, the right pillar is out and gives way to Rochelais, Uini Atonio.
The Clermontois is not the only one to leave the Blues. The second row of Stade Toulousain, Joshua Brennan, also affected, must return home. A package that suits Killian Tixeront. The third row of ASM already knows the group well having participated in the tour in Argentina this summer.
Magne, Bonnaire, Lapandry… Killian Tix will be a worthy heir to the great names of ASM Clermont
If he had been started to face Uruguay, he still does not have an official selection with the Blues. Indeed, this match did not fall within the international window established by World Rugby and therefore did not offer selection to the players called up.
