XV OF France – Thibaud Flament and Théo Attissogbe were injured during the match against Japan (52-12). And for the young winger, the knee would be affected and the rest of his tour could be compromised.
If the victory was clear and beautiful, this Saturday evening against Japan (52-12), the price paid by the Blues is quite heavy, in this first match of the fall tour. Injured after half an hour of play, Thibaud Flament had to give up his place to Paul Boudehent. While Theo Attissogbe was also injured in the second act. Two hard blows for the XV of France, which took place during this first autumn match.
According to our colleagues at Rugbyrama, the two players are causing concern for the second match, against New Zealand, scheduled for next Saturday. The second row was affected in the iliac crest, at the top of the pelvis, while the young 19-year-old winger felt severe pain in his knee. For the latter, it's probably a little more serious, on one knee. A sprain of the external lateral ligament is announced. If this is the case, the entire tour is compromised. Fabien Galthiéthe coach of the Blues, confirmed the risk of withdrawal against the All-Blacks for the player from Pau. We are more reassured for the French second line, whose exit would be more of a precaution than anything else.
