XV of France: the Blues released, between rest and Top 14. The 19 “protected” players benefit from a few days of rest.
The others will return to their clubs and prepare for the next day of the championship. Back in Paris this Sunday, the sluggish winners of Scotland will not return to Marcoussis. France-Italy on Sunday February 25 (4 p.m. kick-off) in Lille – and the Blues are free until next Sunday. The 15 other players who were part of the group of 34 who prepared the trip to Edinburgh will be on deck.
