The fifteen players who will open the world against New Zealand are now known. This Wednesday, Fabien Galthié revealed the names of the players who will start the match against the All-Blacks on Friday evening to launch this World Cup. Unsurprisingly, Jonathan Danty, insufficiently recovered from a thigh injury suffered during the test match against Australia, will start on the bench. He will be replaced by Yoram Moefana. For his part, Thibaut Flament replaces Paul Wilemse, package for the entire competition.
The starting XV: Ramos – Penaud – Fickou – Moefana – Villiere – Jalibert – Dupont – Ollivon – Alldritt – Cros – Flament – Atonio – Marchand – Wardi
