Injured in the thigh, Matthieu Jalibert has not been seen on the pitch since the European Cup match against the Scarlets on January 16. He was to be aligned on Saturday March 5, during the reception of Pau in Bordeaux. But he finally felt a new pain in the warm-up and could not come into play. The tricolor opening half did not play a single match of the Six Nations Tournament with the Blues.
It is Swan Rebbadj (3 selections, 27 years old, RC Toulon) and Antoine Hastoy (1 selection, 24 years old, Section Paloise) who will fly to Marcoussis on Sunday to prepare for the match on the fourth day of the Tournament.
