The Rugby World Cup will barely be over when some members of the French team will already be back on the pitches of the Top 14. This Sunday, on the occasion of the 4th day of the French Championship, at the stop for 56 days because of the World Cup, four Blues will start in their clubs.
In Toulon, three globalists will be there for the Oyonnax reception (4:05 p.m.). Winger Gabin Villière and third row Charles Ollivon start, while left pillar Jean-Baptiste Gros will start on the substitutes’ bench. The three men experienced very different World Cups. While the first played very little, overtaken in his position by Louis Bielle-Biarrey, the second shone in the third line. The pillar started the World Cup, before suffering the return of Cyril Baille and competition from Reda Wardi on the left of the scrum.
No risks in La Rochelle
As for Stade Toulouse, the biggest supplier of Blues, the return will be gradual. Only Peato Mauvaka will already resume competition this Sunday during the reception of Union Bordeaux-Bègles. The hooker, fantastic in the absence of Julien Marchand during the World Cup, will take over from Guillaume Cramont during the match. He will find Sipili Faleta, also on the bench, in the opposing camp.
Among the big suppliers of globalists, Stade Rochelais has decided to take its time. No Atonio, Wardi, Bourgarit, Alldritt or even Hastoy on the scoresheet. Note, however, the presence of two members of the Blues preparation group, namely Yoan Tanga and Brice Dulin. They will both be starters.
LOU Rugby has decided to put its global players back to work. Baptiste Couilloud will start the match against Clermont (4:05 p.m.) as scrum half, while newly retired international Romain Taofifenua will be on the bench. Present with the French team until the announcement of the final selection of Fabien Galthié, Dylan Cretin, Ethan Dumortier and Demba Bamba are present for the restart. The first two are starters, the last substitute.
Finally, two French internationals will be on the pitch during the meeting between Montpellier and Racing 92 (4:05 p.m.). For the Cistes, Arthur Vincent starts, as does Paul Willemse, injured at the dawn of the World Cup during individual training. For the Ile-de-France residents, Gaël Fickou and Cameron Woki remain resting after a grueling competition.
