XV of France: Alldritt forfeits against Italy. Grégory Alldrit, injured in the left thigh during the victory in Scotland, will not be restored for the reception of Italy, on February 25.
Toulonnais Charles Ollivon (30 years old, 41 selections), captain of the Blues at the start of Fabien Galthié's mandate, seems ideally suited to take over this role. Unless the staff turns to the center and captain of Racing 92 Gaël Fickou.
