The warning is clear. Holder of the first three matches, the Racing winger leaves the group which will fly to Scotland on Friday. Not even a replacement. Teddy Thomas thus pays a high price for his defensive errors against Wales. The return of injury from Damian Penaud, who will replace him in Scotland, probably precipitated the sanction. The wingman is asked to think about his collective investment in the defense sector.

A sanction without appeal therefore. And not even a Racing match to try to cheer up, the Top 14 relaxing for the next two weekends. Teddy Thomas is therefore likely to find the time long because, if his return to the group of 42 to prepare the last meeting, March 14 against Ireland, is no doubt, his presence on the lawn of the Stade de France seems far from over. Even more in the event of a successful performance by the Clermont wingman who succeeds him.
Camille Chat preserved despite uncertainty about its recovery
In this list of 14 players will be made available to their club, as required by the convention between the FFR and the LNR, communicated by Fabien Galthié and Raphaël Ibanez, there is no trace, however, of the hooker of Racing Camille Chat. However uncertain (pain in the hamstrings), it is however preserved among the 28 applicants for displacement in Scotland. Camille is “in the phase of returning to normal training. It is too early to say, we will make a decision at the end of the week, ”warned the Blues manager on Wednesday at Marcoussis.
Cameron Woki and Boris Palu, who had played a few minutes against England and then Italy, are also failed. Unlike the second line of the LOU, Killian Geraci, who could honor his first selection in Scotland.
