No miracle for Paul Willemse, whose package against Australia has just been recorded by the FFR. Recent echoes from the French staff did not bode well for the 2nd line of the XV of France, exempt from training on Wednesday “because of discomfort in the thigh”, according to the director of performance of the Blues, Thibault Giroud, a little earlier in the day.
Indisputable holder of the XV of France during the Grand Slam carried out in the last Six Nations Tournament, the Montpellier player will be replaced by Thibaud Flament, who leaves the finishers box to make his appearance among the holders.
