XV of France: unclear on the team composition? “Put more competition between players,” replies the Blues staff. Fabien Galthié maintains the vagueness on the composition of the French XV in view of the match against Wales on Sunday.
“ Usually we know the lineup from the start of the week. Not this time. We have adapted our operation because we need to see the state of form of the players, the energy that emanates from them, before making final choices. The other weeks, we had more visibility, there, we wanted to create more competition. I wouldn't say to recreate competition but to keep the group alive. We need, in our team building, to feel emulation.”
