Special envoy to Aix-en-Provence

The Blues all returned to the Renaissance hotel in Aix-en-Provence on Sunday evening. With the exception of Antoine Dupont, who remained at home in Toulouse, between medical follow-up and post-operative rest. According to our information, the captain of the XV of France should meet his partners in their Aix base camp during the day of Thursday.

Then make way for “a gradual recovery under medical supervision”, according to the FFR. For collective training, you must wait at least ten days. And contactless at first. As a reminder, Fabien Galthié’s men will face Italy for their last group match on October 6, before a possible quarter-final on Sunday the 15th, if they finish in first place. Antoine Dupont, operated on last Friday, is forfeited to challenge the Transalpines but aims to be back on the field for the quarter.
