The match against Italy left some traces.
The XV of France, victorious 37-10 of the Italians on Sunday at the Stade de France, will have to do without Jonathan Danty, at least for the next match.
We do not know the duration of the unavailability of the center of La Rochelle.
The staff of the Blues just clarified that his player was injured in the ankle.
Jonathan Danty (29 years old, 12 caps) is replaced in the group of 42 Frenchmen who are preparing for the clash against Ireland (Saturday at 5:45 p.m. at the Stade de France) by Lyon opening half Léo Berdeu (23 years old, 0 caps) .
In the hierarchy of the center three-quarters, Danty had convinced Fabien Galthié and his staff to associate him with the irremovable Gaël Fickou, and won a starting place for the match against the All Blacks on November 20, then for the start. of the Six Nations Tournament on Sunday.
He had notably benefited from the injury of Montpellier Arthur Vincent and the poor form of Racing 92 player Virimi Vakatawa.

By calling on an opening half to replace Danty numerically, the staff of the Blues therefore relies rather on the centers already present with the Blues, namely the Bordelais Yoram Moefana (entered into play on Sunday), the Clermontois Tani Vili or Virimi Vakatawa , to be associated with Fickou against the XV of Clover.
The squad lined up against Ireland will be announced on Thursday, following high-intensity training on Wednesday.
In addition, the pillar of Clermont Daniel Bibi Biziwu (20 years old, 0 selection), positive for Covid, could not join the Blues and was replaced in the group of 42 by the Rochelais Dany Priso (28 years old, 14 selections).
