The second Bayonne line Guillaume Ducat and Toulouse winger Lucas Tauzin join the group of 42 players of the XV of France to prepare the match of the Six nations against Wales, next Saturday, announced their clubs.
"Our second line, Guillaume Ducat, was called by the staff of the France team," Sunday Aviron Bayonnais announced on its Twitter account. "It is an honor for the club and a real pride for our training."
Bordeaux's Cyril Cazeaux (25, 0 selection), was first called in among the 14 players who will join the group of 28 who stayed at the national rugby center of Marcoussis to prepare for the trip to Cardiff. But, came into play in the shock for the first place won by the UBB against Lyon (37-19), he suffered an injury the seriousness of which remains to be confirmed. He is therefore replaced by Ducat, who, at 23, has no selection.
Author of a test with Toulouse during the defeat in Racing (30-27), the winger Lucas Tauzin (21, 0 selection) also joined the group of Blues, said his coach Ugo Mola.
"We are a bit used to exposing players to high level, but it is true that we pay it in one way or another, even if the time spent in the France team is good time. wish you luck, "said Mola, who hopes to retrieve Tauzin next week if he is not retained in Cardiff.
Tauzin should replace Julien Hériteau, injured with Toulon against Brive.
Another uncertainty: the young scrum half of Lyon Baptiste Couilloud (22 years, 3 selections), vomiting and released from the 10th minute of play in Bordeaux, should leave his place, victim of gastroenteritis according to the manager of LOU Pierre Mignoni.
Logically, Maxime Lucu (Bordeaux-Bègles, 26, 0 selection) should replace him in the group of 42 to be the 3rd scrum half, behind Antoine Dupont (Toulouse) and Baptiste Serin (Toulon).
