Last minute change within the XV of France. According to our information, Théo Attissogbe will start this Saturday evening to face Japan at the Stade de France. Le Palois will replace Damian Penaud, who is ill, position for position.
Scheduled to start this Saturday evening against Japan, and usual member of the XV of France, Damian Penaud will ultimately not celebrate his fifty-fourth selection. Indeed, the second best scorer in the history of the Blues (36 tries) is ill. According to our information, the staff withdrew the Union Bordeaux-Bègles winger a few hours before the match kicked off.
Third selection for Attissogbe
As a result, it is Theo Attissogbe who will replace him at short notice on the pitch at the Stade de France. Sent back to the club on Wednesday evening, the under-20 world champion was recalled by Fabien Galthié to compensate for the possible absence of Penaud. This is certain now. Le Palois, who played eight Top 14 matches this season over two seasons, will celebrate his third selection. He had in fact participated in the two test matches in Argentina last summer, with several tests scored. He is offered a great chance to score points in the hierarchy of French wingers.
