On Wednesday evening, the staff of the XV of France had not communicated on the list of 14 players made available to their clubs, despite the fact that there is no Top 14 this weekend. It is therefore difficult to predict the identity players sent to the stands for France-Japan.

This Thursday, November 7, Fabien Galthié revealed the composition of the team, with the names of the 23 elements who will start the first match of the Blues during this fall 2024 tour. The name of the 5 Blues placed in the stands was also mentioned. They are there to compensate for a possible last minute blow.

Club teammates, in Toulon, Charles Ollivon et Baptiste Serin will take their place in the stands, just like the Bordeaux team Romain Burosnever capped in Blue and who can equally well cover the winger or full-back positions.
