This is the question that agitates the Blues this week. Jonathan Danty, recently injured in his hamstring, will he start on Friday (9:15 p.m.) against the All Blacks at the opening of the World Cup (September 8-October 28)? Tuesday, during training open to the press, Danty, double reigning European champion with La Rochelle, wore a white chasuble, the one reserved for the holder.
But this Wednesday, at the Tricolores base camp in Rueil-Malmaison, the situation changed. Jonathan Danty, who spent a few minutes getting a massage at the edge of the field, wore a blue tunic, that of the substitutes, during training. And it was Yoram Moefana (UBB) who wore the white flocked chasuble number 12, that of the alleged holder.
For the rest, concerning the other questions, Thibaud Flament (Toulouse) should replace Paul Willemse (Montpellier), injured, in the second line. And Reda Wardi (La Rochelle) should start at left pillar, in the absence of Cyril Baille, injured in the calf. Fabien Galthié will reveal his team composition to face the All Blacks at the Stade de France on Wednesday at noon.
The probable composition of the XV of France
Ramos – Penaud, Fickou, Moefana, Villière – (o) Jalibert, (m) Dupont – Ollivon, Alldritt, Cros – Flament, Woki – Atonio, Marchand, Wardi
