Sunday evening, the Blues return to Marcoussis, under the rule of a health protocol closely monitored by Raphaël Ibanez, in order to prepare for the Crunch against the English, on Saturday March 13 (5:45 p.m.) at Twickenham.
A meeting that some will approach without having played a single minute since the victory in Dublin on February 13.
Most will not even have trained, between symptoms to treat and isolation to observe.
This could prove harmful to the physical condition of the France team.
Not to mention the risk of injury when resuming training with the Blues.

Without presuming the group of 31 players that will be announced this Saturday evening, here is the situation of the workforce, knowing that the French staff has left all the players - about fifty, between the twelve players tested positive, their substitutes and the rest of the troops, considered as contact cases - available to the clubs, encouraging them to align them this weekend during the 20th day of the Top 14 in order to give them a little rhythm.
Ditto for the three long-time injured, who make their return to the lawns this weekend, Camille Chat, François Cros, Romain Ntamack and Virimi Vakatawa, all four tenured.
In the end, 18 of the Blues considered as contact cases are aligned in the championship this weekend, of which only 10 as holders.
