We don’t take the same ones at all and we start again. After its great inaugural victory against the All Blacks, the French XV will make numerous changes against Uruguay (Thursday, 9 p.m.). Unsurprisingly, Fabien Galthié will indeed carry out a large squad review against an opponent who is well within the reach of the Blues. History, firstly, to avoid a new injury among the executives. But also to give playing time to the 33 players in the group and arrive in great shape at the beginning of October for the quarter-finals.
According to the implementation carried out by the French coach during Monday’s training open to the public in Rueil-Malmaison, almost the entire starting XV will change, with the exception of three players. Only Woki in the second row then Villière and Moefana in the back lines could string together two starts.
The probable XV against Uruguay: Jaminet – Bielle-Biarey, Vincent, Moefana, Villière – Hastoy (o), Lucu (m) – Jelonch, Macalou, Boudehent – Chalureau or Taofifenua, Woki – Aldegheri, Bourgarit, Gros.
In the second row, Montpellier’s Bastien Chalureau, at the heart of the storm last week, could experience his first start in the World Cup. Just like the very young but promising Bordeaux winger Louis Bielle-Biarey, 20 years old, launched for the first time in blue during the test match against Scotland this summer.
