Hit in the iliac crest bone against Japan, Thibaud Flament is still in the group to prepare for New Zealand. Théo Attissogbe is forced to forfeit the second test. He is digitally replaced by Cameron Woki.
The staff of the French XV will have to modify their starting XV to face the All Blacks. During the big victory against Japan, the Blues lost to injury Thibaud Flament and Théo Attissogbe during the meeting. The Toulouse man is still in the group to prepare for the second test, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to hold his place.
Théo Attissogbe is out after his sprain of the internal lateral ligament of his left knee. To replace him in the group of 42, Fabien Galthié and his deputies decided to summon Cameron Woki.
Woki served his suspension during France-Japan
During his last match with Racing 92 in Pau, Woki was sent off after receiving two yellow cards. He is still eligible for the second test in November. Here's why.
Last week, Cameron Woki was not recalled to the group of 42 after his exclusion against Pau. However, a letter sent by the FFR to the disciplinary committee allowed the second or third row to serve their suspension match on Saturday evening during France-Japan. Clearly, the French Federation explained that the non-summoning of Ciel et Blanc was due to his red card.
As a result, the former Union Bordeaux-Bègles player is no longer suspended and can therefore prepare for the reception of New Zealand without problem.
The Garrec returns
Hit in one knee and absent for France-Japan, Nolann Le Garrec will be in Marcoussis this week in preparation for the second test. The Racingman joins the group in place of Baptiste Serin.
