Return of Haouas and Villière, titular Jaminet and scorer: the probable composition of the XV of France against Argentina

2021-11-03T16:31:04.600Z


The Blues of Fabien Galthié carried out a last high intensity training, this Wednesday in Marcoussis, before facing Argentina


Under the sun and the freshness of Marcoussis, the Blues of Fabien Galthié repeat their ranges, in the real conditions of a match.

Blue chasubles on the back, the group of 23 players (out of the 42 present in Essonne) who should be selected for the first test match of the fall, against Argentina at the Stade de France (Saturday at 9 p.m.) , is opposed to the reservists, in white jersey.

The final composition will be announced by Fabien Galthié and his staff this Thursday at noon.

According to the opposition this afternoon, Matthieu Jalibert will be well associated with the hinge to captain Antoine Dupont, Romain Ntamack sliding to the post of center, alongside Gaël Fickou.

It had been the trend for several days.

First selection for Thibaud Flament

Among the surprises, the return of right pillar Mohamed Haouas, just recovered from injury and who had missed the first week of training at Marcoussis, as well as that of winger Gabin Villière.

Both men should be titular.

In the second row, the first selection of novice Thibaud Flament is confirmed.

And the team François Cros, Anthony Jelonch and Cameron Woki should start the match in the third row, pushing Grégory Alldritt, the usual holder at the position of number 8, on the bench.

Jaminet chained the penalties

Finally, at the back, Melvyn Jaminet once again played with the holders, at the expense of Brice Dulin.

The young Perpignan full-back, 22, is expected to make a fourth start after three convincing test matches this summer in Australia.

And he should also be given the role of goalscorer.

He was indeed the only one to string together penalty kicks during this opposition in real conditions.

"The choice of the scorer is decided", revealed Tuesday Laurent Labit, coach of the back lines of the XV of France.

Even if, with Matthieu Jalibert and Romain Ntamack, the Blues have other weapons in this area.

As for the “finishers”, as the Bleus staff call them, Bordeaux's Maxime Lucu holds the rope to be Antoine Dupont's lining.

Jonathan Danty should cover the center positions, and Matthis Lebel the wings.

Unless Sekou Macalou, also in blue chasuble and who can evolve third line or winger, is preferred to him to densify the bench.

The probable composition:

Jaminet - Villière, Ntamack, Fickou, Penaud - (m) Dupont (cap.), (O) Jalibert - Woki, Jelonch, Cros - Flament, Willemse - Baille, Marchand, Haouas.

Alternates: Gros, Bamba, Mauvaka, R. Taofifenua, Alldritt, Lucu, Danty, Lebel (or Macalou).
