Two faces known to rugby fans will find the XV of France. Gabin Villière and Matthieu Jalibert are part of the group unveiled on Thursday March 3 by the French Rugby Federation (FFR) to prepare for the trip to Wales on Friday March 11 (9 p.m. live on France 2 and france.tv) for the account of the 4th day of the Six Nations Tournament.
Hit in the face during the match against Ireland on February 12, the Toulonnais Gabin Villière is therefore fit to play again. Just like Matthieu Jalibert, who participated in collective training during the week in Bordeaux, after several weeks of absence following a thigh injury.
Several players with zero selection have also been called up: in the third row Paul Boudehent (La Rochelle, 22) and Jordan Joseph (Pau, 21), in the second row Thomas Jolmès (Bordeaux-Bègles, 26) and Thomas Lavault (La Rochelle, 22), pillar Jérôme Rey (Lyon, 26), winger Donovan Taofifénua (Racing 92, 22) or three-quarter Jules Favre (La Rochelle, 22).
