Against all expectations, Léon Darricarrère is part of the list of 42 for the French XV before the match against Japan. The Clermontois chased out Jonathan Danty while in the scrum, Baptiste Serin benefited from Nolann Le Garrec's package.
This Saturday after the first five matches of the ninth day of Top 14, Fabien Galthié reshaped his list of 42 in view of the France – Japan scheduled in a week at the Stade de France. Among the big new features, we note above all the presence of Léon Darricarrère. Holder and decisive during Clermont's success against UBB (32-27), the number 12 of the Jaunards will accompany his pillar Régis Montagne in Marcoussis to the detriment of Jonathan Danty. An indisputable starter alongside Gaël Fickou in the selection a year ago, the Rochelais was not recalled after having taken part in last week's rally.
Léon Darricarrere has no official selection, he played the friendly match against Uruguay this summer in Montevideo between the two Test matches against Argentina. He also has very little chance of experiencing his baptism of fire, other elements seem to be clearly ahead of him in the hierarchy of the three-quarter centers (Fickou, Gailleton, Costes, Moefana, Frisch). In the fray, Baptiste Serin has no more illusions. The Toulonnais was summoned following the confirmed withdrawal of Nolann Le Garrec. However, behind boss Antoine Dupont, the role of understudy already seems to be assigned to Maxime Lucu.
Summoned last week before withdrawing, Léo Berdeu is now fit. He ejects Rochelais Antoine Hastoy from the group of 42. Also returning from injury, Julien Marchand finds his place in the 42 unlike hooker Maxime Lamothe. The latter's teammate, Pierre Bochaton, will take the opposite route, replacing Cameron Woki. On the lawn of the Section Paloise where he participated in the success of Racing 92, the versatile 2nd or 3rd row received two yellow cards, synonymous with expulsion and therefore future suspension.
