Clermont center Jean-Pascal Barraque, who honored his first selection against Italy on Saturday evening, had to forfeit the final of the Autumn Nations Cup on Sunday in England.
He is replaced by the back of Lyon, Clément Laporte, 22, number 15 of the Bleuets U20 world champions in 2018. His arrival in Marcoussis brings an additional option after the injury of Toulonnais Gervais Cordin, injured in the ankle while preparing for the match won on Saturday against Italy (36-5).
The coach Fabien Galthié preferred Sunday to call a second-row, the Bayonnais Guillaume Ducat, rather than replacing Cordin position for position.
