Fabien Galthié will decide the last cases for his list of 33 elected for the World Cup at home. LOIC VENANCE / AFP
The coach of the XV of France, Fabien Galthié, will reveal this Monday, during the news of 13 Hours of TF1, the 33 players selected for the World Cup. Update on trends.
The big day has arrived. This Monday, during the 1 p.m. news from TF1, and in a form “original and unpublishedAccording to the private channel, Fabien Galthié will designate the 33 elected for the World Cup. A list that the coach already has in mind. “ If we wait until Sunday to do it, it’s because we haven’t done anything for four years, stung the boss of the Blues. Everything is ready.»
So much so that the failed players have already been warned “so that it is not a huge shock“Revealed the second-line Paul Willemse. “It will be a bit of a special moment, but we knew from the start that nine players were going to leave…“, admitted the second line of Montpellier, who is one of the players in danger from this list of 42 who have been preparing for the planetary event since the beginning of July.
The certain starters
Some, of course, have nothing to worry about. Executives like Antoine Dupont, Charles Ollivon, Grégory Alldritt, Gaël Fickou, Damian Penaud or Thomas Ramos. They are a big fifteen in this case (the typical team in summary). Ditto for those who are part of the rotation, these famous finishers, since the beginning of the mandate of Fabien Galthié. Scrum half Maxime Lucu is one of them. There are also posts without suspense, fate of rivalry. The three hookers will be Julien Marchand, Pierre Bourgarit and Peato Mauvaka. No surprise either for the position of opener. Romain Ntamack’s package ensures their places for Matthieu Jalibert and Antoine Hastoy.
We can add to this list those who convinced during the three preparation matches like the quick-witted winger Louis Bielle-Biarrey or the pillars Reda Wardi and Dorian Aldegheri. There remains the case of Anthony Jelonch. Seriously injured in the knee at the beginning of March, the Toulouse third line had assured to be restored in time. Promise kept. He returned to the squad last week and his status makes him a fixture even though he couldn’t take part in any of the first three warm-up matches.
The some : Aldegheri, Atonio, Baille, Gros, Wardi – Bourgarit, Marchand Mauvaka – Flament, Woki – Alldritt, Cros, Jelonch, Ollivon – Dupont, Lucu – Hastoy, Jalibert – Danty, Fickou – Bielle-Biarrey, Penaud, Villlière – Ramos
On waivers
To complete this list of 24 names, we will have to make choices, rule out suitors. Bamba or Flat to complete the contingent of straight pillars? In the second line, it will be necessary to subtract two names among the four applicants (Taofifenua, Verhaeghe, Willemse, Chalureau, in this order ?). Ditto in the third line (Macaulou ou Tanga ; Boudehent ou Cretin). As scrum-half, Baptiste Cool seems to have taken a slight advantage over Baptiste Couilloud. But the game is very tight.
Behind, it is necessary to withdraw one of the three postulants in the center (Arthur Vincent made a strong impression, so it should be played out between Yoram Moefana and the young Emilien Gailleton). Finally, to double the full-back position promised to Thomas Ramos, Melvyn Jaminet probably got the better of Brice Dulin thanks to his remarkable performance against Fiji on Saturday evening in Nantes.
A danger
Finally, two players seem in great danger: the young pillar Thomas Laclayat and the Lyon winger Ethan Dumortier. But for the nine who failed, all hope is not lost. Fabien Galthié has rightly said it and repeated it, there are always withdrawals during tough competition. Players not initially selected will therefore be asked to remain in “stand-by“. It is among them that the coach will draw to remedy the injuries.
