The third line of the UBB and the pillar of La Rochelle affected, gave up the preparation course for the Blues before the start of the Six Nations Tournament as well as Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack positive for Covid 19
Fabien Galthié was forced to recompose the list of 42 players summoned this Sunday in Aubagne to prepare for the Six Nations Tournament. Due to injuries but also seven cases of Covid-19, the coach of the Quinze de France had to make nine changes within his initial group.
The third line of the Union Bordeaux-Bègles Cameron Woki, injured in training and the right pillar from La Rochelle Uini Atonio, touched Saturday evening in Glasgow are forfeited.
Coly and Boudehent summoned
Toulouse residents Antoine Dupont, Romain Ntamack, Cyril Baille, François Cros and Anthony Jelonch, positive for Covid-19, had to give up the first week of training, as did Castrais Gaëtan Barlot and Racingman Bernard Le Roux.
These players should rejoin the France group next Sunday when the list of 42 is updated. From Wednesday, 14 players will be released to play with their club on the 16th day of Top 14.
Among the nine players called up, we will note the presence of the young scrum half from Mont-de-Marsan Léo Coly (22 years old). The staff of the Blues closely follows the performances of the Montois already summoned to the Blues as a training partner.
The third line wing from La Rochelle Paul Boudehent is retained for the first time. Two other of his teammates were called in as reinforcements: hooker Pierre Bourgarit and second row Thomas Lavault.
