Friday 22nd November 2024 07:48 AM

For this France – Argentina, Fabien Galthié made strong new choices in his starting XV.

It is now a refrain, Galthié does not hesitate to put points on the table with his senior players. After Fickou and Ollivon, not called up for Japan, then Jalibert, left out of the group for the All Blacks and for this match against Argentina, it is Alldritt who is paying the price for his last lackluster performances. As a result, Ollivon starts in the third center line with Cros and Boudehent at his side. Choices that the French coach defends, for the competitiveness of the group: “my wish is that there is very strong emulation. It is essential to develop the potential which deserves it and which is emerging. this tour is the point of start of the path to the 2027 World Cup.

It will also be an opportunity to see Atonio in blue again, 8 months after his last call-up. The right pillar benefits in particular from Tatafu's injury. At the back, Buros will not continue and sees Barré regain his place at the 15 position while Gazzotti takes advantage of a 6-2 bench to record his very first sheet with the Blues.

Pumas with a French accent

Contepomi, for its part, fields a team with a strong French accent since 5 of its starting players play in the Top 14. Up front, we find in particular Sclavi (Stade Rochelais), Petti (UBB) and even Oviedo (Perpignan). Behind, Delguy (ASM Clermont) on the wing while Mallia (Stade Toulousain) is aligned in 15. The Argentine coach is banking on continuity by making only one change after the short defeat in Ireland (22-19).
