We know the XV who will face Argentina, Friday November 22 at 9:10 p.m., at the Stade de France. For this last match of the fall tour, a week after a prestigious success against New Zealand (30-29), Fabien Galthié will line up “the best team in France at the moment”.
Author of an excellent match against the Blacks, full-back Romain Buros is not in the group. And it's not a choice. “He is not sufficiently recovered from a crutch, he was honest enough to tell us that”explained Fabien Galthié at a press conference.
Three returns
He will be replaced by Léo Barré in his position. While the absences of Jalibert and Aldritt were known for one, expected for the other, there are three notable returns in the French XV.
Right pillar Uini Atonio, who missed the first two test matches of the fall, is back as a starter with the French XV to face Argentina on Friday. Grégory Aldritt, captain of the Blues in the absence of Antoine Dupont, is replaced by Charles Ollivon, who finds a starting place. Furthermore, after his concussion protocol, François Cros will find a starting place on the third line.
