His name slipped into the list of 42 players called up to prepare for the final week before the first test match against Australia.
Absent during the first part of the rally in Marcoussis, Cyril Baille found Marcoussis and the XV of France in the wake of his resumption of competition.
Less than three months after his left adductor operation, the left prop played 34 minutes with Toulouse on Saturday in the defeat at Bayonne (26-22) where he entered the second half.
Enough to see him again now in the eyes of the staff of the XV of France.
And the latter did not recall a framework, irremovable holder at the Blues and among the best in the world at his post, only to make up the number at the sessions.
This Tuesday, during the first high-intensity training session of the week before challenging the Wallabies, the 29-year-old sported the number 17, that of the substitute left pillar.
His usual number one was on the back of Toulonnais Dany Priso, while the other position specialist present, Stade Français player Clément Castets, was training with another group.
At a minimum, this means that the Toulousain should start on the bench of substitutes to launch the fall tour of the Blues on Saturday at the Stade de France (9 p.m.).
The second high-intensity training of the week, scheduled for Wednesday at 2 p.m., should provide more information, with an opposition to the program.
Ramos at the back, Ntamack still among the starters
If Baille holds his place in the 23, another Toulousain with little playing time will start, in all likelihood, as a starter against the Australians.
Injured since mid-September, the opening half Romain Ntamack appeared with the blue chasuble adorned with the 10 Tuesday in training.
He will form the hinge with his club teammate, the captain of the XV of France Antoine Dupont.
In addition, Thomas Ramos also seems very well set to start at the back this weekend in the absence of Melvyn Jaminet, injured.
Yoram Moefana should slide on the wing to make up for Gabin Villière's package, while Julien Marchand will be preferred to his Toulouse partner Peato Mauvaka to start as hooker.
The announcement of the group of 23 and the starting XV will be made Thursday noon in Marcoussis by the coach of the Blues Fabien Galthié and the manager Raphaël Ibañez.
In the meantime, the two men discussed at the start of the session with their guest of the day in Marcoussis, the astronaut Jean-François Clervoy.
The man who has been in space three times will speak in the evening in front of the group.
A habit for the staff who have already brought in singer Francis Cabrel, actor Jean Dujardin and sailor Thomas Coville in Marcoussis.
The possible composition to face Australia on Saturday (9 p.m.):
Starting XV:
Ramos - Penaud, Danty, Fickou, Moefana - (o) Ntamack, (m) Dupont (cap.) - Jelonch, Alldritt, Ollivon - Willemse, Woki - Atonio, Marchand, Priso or Baille.
Replacements:
Mauvaka, Baille or Priso, Haouas, Taofifenua, Flament, Lucu, Jalibert, Lebel.
