XV of France – Posolo Tuilagi will be called up with the Blues to prepare for the first match of the Tournament against Ireland

Posolo Tuilagi, who has been impressing people for several months with Perpignan, will, according to our colleagues at L’Indépendant, be summoned with the French XV to prepare for the first match of the 6 Nations Tournament against Ireland. The latter, who spent a day in Marcoussis as a training partneraccording to our information, impressed the staff of the XV of France and is therefore rewarded with this call-up.

Injured at the post

The French XV which has many absentees at the post, starting with Thibaud Flament, injured and out of the first match against Ireland, just like his teammate from Toulouse, Emmanuel Meafou, affected against Bath. Matthias Halagahu, surprise on Fabien Galthié’s first list, should pay the price for this call-up, since he is the only second row who was left available to his club for the 13th day of Top 14.

This week, Fabien Galthié revealed the first clues for the composition of the French team against the XV du Trèfle. On the second row, the pair of Paul Gabrillagues and Paul Willemse seemed to hold the rope. Romain Taofifenua, considered by his coach as “the best finisher in the world“, could keep his place on the bench. The young Catalan will this time have more than one day to catch the eye of the staff and shake up the established hierarchy.
