Fabien Galthié and his staff unveiled this Friday the list of 42 players selected to prepare for the last two meetings of the Six Nations Tournament.
Two years after his last selection, against England already, the Toulouse pillar Dorian Aldegheri (29 years old, 8 caps) was summoned by the coach to compensate for the suspension of Mohamed Haouas, sanctioned with a red card last Sunday against the Scotland.
UBB scrum-half Maxime Lucu, recovered from his sprained ankle, is making his comeback in place of Baptiste Serin, who had been recalled before Scotland following the withdrawal of Racingman Nolann Le Garrec. Ditto for hooker Peato Mauvaka, who has just returned to the field after a broken finger. Teddy Baubigny (RC Toulon) leaves the group.

Another Bordelais, Bastien Vergnes Taillefer, is called to compensate for the package of Anthony Jelonch, victim of a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligaments and absent for many months. In anticipation of France-Wales, for which he will have served his suspension, the pillar Uini Atonio returns to the group, a third line disappearing (Alexandre Roumat).
Two newcomers are appearing, the third row of the Paloise Section, Sacha Zegueur, and the young winger (20 years old) from Oyonnax (Pro D2), Enzo Reybier. They replace Ibrahim Diallo (Racing 92) and Louis Bielle-Biarrey (UBB). Note, finally, the return of the Lyon opening half Léo Berdeu, who takes the place of the center Émilien Gailleton.
The composition of the XV of France which will challenge England at Twickenham on Saturday (5:45 p.m.) as part of the 4th day of the Six Nations Tournament, will be revealed on Thursday noon.
