This time they were all there. The day after a first session carried out in dispersed order with many players spared, the Blues trained this Wednesday in Marcoussis with a full group, nine days before launching the 6 Nations Tournament against Wales. And the trends mentioned last week on our site were all confirmed on the Pierre-Camou CNR site. Returning from Rome where, along with Fabien Galthié, he took part in the official presentation of the competition on Monday, captain Antoine Dupont returned to his feet alongside Romain Ntamack. The two players will form the starting hinge which will be aligned on January 31 in Saint-Denis.
In the center, again as expected, Pierre-Louis Barassi, whose third and last selection dates back to July 2021, strongly holds the rope to start alongside Yoram Moefana. The Toulouse and the Bordeaux formed the pair of centers this Wednesday in the gray of Essonne. In the absence of Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who will arrive later in the day at Marcoussis, the wings were occupied by Damian Penaud and Gabin Villière. For his part, Thomas Ramos played at the back, he who had played in ten in the absence of Ntamack this fall.
