Fabien Galthié revealed this Thursday the list of 34 players called up to prepare for the match against Wales, on Sunday March 10 (4 p.m.) as part of the 4th day of the Six Nations Tournament.

To compensate for Matthieu Jalibert’s injury withdrawal, Rochelais Antoine Hastoy, who participated in the World Cup, is back. To replace Jonathan Danty, suspended after his red card, it is Toulouse’s Pierre Louis-Barassi who returns, he who had honored his 3rd and final selection during the summer tour to Australia in July 2022.

In the second row, Thibaud Flament (26 years old, 24 caps), injured since December 9 (and who should finally return to the field this Saturday during Toulouse-Castres, as part of the 17th day of Top 14) is recalled. Just like his teammate Emmanuel Meafou. Summoned at the start of the Tournament, the Australian, now naturalized French, had to withdraw. His luck is running out again. The two Toulouse residents take the places of Parisian Peul Gabrillagues and Toulon resident Matthias Halagahu.

Finally in the front row, appearance of the massive pillar of Stade Rochelais (1.93 m; 142 kg) Georges-Henri Colombe, in place of Agenais Alex Burin, surprise on the list before Italy (he compensated for the forfeit of Racingman Thomas Laclayat).
