The uncertainty surrounding Trinh-Duc and Médard being exercised, the team coach Marc Lievremont of France unveiled the group selected for the match in Italy on March 12. Despite the defeat to England, he changed nothing. Only Palisson goes, given the return of Medard.
The announcement was to be performed Sunday, the day after the match at Twickenham. But given the injury to a knee Trinh-Duc during the match and the uncertainty that hovered over the thigh of Medard, Marc Lievremont had decided on Saturday evening to postpone the formalization of his list "Wednesday later ". The coach of the Blues finally unveiled Tuesday noon names 23-man squad to face Italy. And there are no surprises.
Lievremont had said last weekend: he renewed the group initially selected for England without the wounds of his opener and his back. Finally, the exams taken by the Montpellier proved reassuring and he has already been declared "fit" for the trip to Rome on March 12. Maxime Medard's return, which might have been aligned against the English but the staff had chosen to "provide" for his part was expected. So it's no surprise that the versatile Brive Alexis Palisson, appelé en cours de semaine dernière, est écarté.
En attendant ce week-end de Top 14...
Bien que plusieurs joueurs aient déçu en Angleterre, le staff persiste et signe. C'est qu'il s'inscrit désormais dans une logique de continuité d'ici la Coupe du monde. Il reste, on le rappelle, seulement quatre matchs aux Bleus avant leur première sortie du Mondial, contre le Japon le 10 septembre. Et ce mardi, c'est d'ailleurs la deuxième fois d'affilée que Marc Lièvremont reconduit son groupe en intégralité. However, he suggested that changes in the starting XV should intervene.
Players of the France team, who separated Sunday after their defeat at XV de la Rose (9-17), will gather at the CNR Linas -Marcoussis on Sunday night. Meanwhile, they may for the first time since the start of the tournament, to be aligned by their respective clubs this weekend to compete in the 20th day of the Top 14. We will be outside the international window and FFR can not object to what they play. Marc Lievremont, who believes that his players are "chewed" said "Hopefully the club will take heed and at least early in the week, they will leave the boys a break."
