The staff of the XV of France unveiled its holders on Thursday noon to launch the autumn tour on Saturday evening (9 p.m.) against the Wallabies.


Twenty-three men to kick off the fall tour.

The coach of the XV of France Fabien Galthié, accompanied by the manager Raphaël Ibañez, revealed Thursday noon the team selected to challenge Australia on Saturday (9 p.m.) at the Stade de France, kickoff of the trio of test matches in November.

A starting team without any real surprises after the last high-intensity training of the week on Wednesday afternoon.

As expected, Cyril Baille will start as the left pillar against the Wallabies.

Supposed to be forfeited for this tour after his left adductor operation at the beginning of August, the Toulousain will play an international shock with less than half-time in the legs for his return to competition on Saturday in Bayonne in the Top 14, proof of the confidence of the staff in him but also the carnage at his post with an injured - Gros - and a suspended, Reda Wardi.

In the second line, the thigh of Paul Willemse will prevent him from being part of Saint-Denis, but also against South Africa in a week and in Japan.

Returned to Montpellier, the solid second line is replaced by Thibaud Flament, who appeared for the first time with the Blues a year ago, who will form an aerial duo with Racingman Cameron Woki.

He was preferred to Romain Taofifenua, left on the bench.

Romain Ntamack, the other bet

Everything else was highly anticipated.

Officially inducted as captain by the staff at the start of the rally, Antoine Dupont will form the hinge with his club partner in Toulouse Romain Ntamack, who has not played since mid-September and an ankle injury.

In the absence of Gabin Villière, the three-quarter center Yoram Moefana is shifted to the wing, where he was already able to help out during the last Six Nations Tournament.

At the back, the staff entrusts the keys to Thomas Ramos.

The back of Toulouse, no longer a starter in the France team since November 2020 and a trip to Scotland, will have the opportunity to show himself less than a year from the World Cup at home in the absence of his partner in Haute-Garonne Melvyn Jaminet, injured.

A match, and a tour, key for the one who has been sparkling at the club since the start of the season.

The hinge of Bordeaux-Bègles Lucu-Jalibert will be ready to enter from the bench.

Stade Français player Sekou Macalou, third row, takes advantage of his versatility which also allows him to evolve on the wing to integrate the bench.

The composition to face Australia on Saturday (9 p.m.)

Starting XV:

Ramos - Penaud, Danty, Fickou, Moefana - (o) Ntamack, (m) Dupont (cap.) - Jelonch, Alldritt, Ollivon - Flament, Woki - Atonio, Marchand, Baille.

Replacements:

Mauvaka, Priso, Falatea, Taofifenua, Geraci, Macalou, Lucu, Jalibert.
