Thomas Ramos, Camille Lopez or Maxime Machenaud? Among these three holders, the choice of scorer N.1 of the XV of France against the United States, Wednesday in Fukuoka (South of Japan) in World Cup, will be made after the training Monday afternoon, said coach Jacques Brunel.
"They will choose today, this morning, they went bump, this afternoon they will stop after the training.The choice will be there," said Brunel to the press in Kumamoto before the second meeting of the Blues in this world.
All three players should get along. If this is not the case, "it will be up to the coaches to decide, I will not claim it," said Machenaud.
The scrum-half (30 years old, 37 caps), used to stopping Racing 92, did not take this charge with the XV of France since the 2018 Six Nations Tournament, where he had shown himself adroit in the exercise.
Lopez (30 years old, 25 caps), author of the victory drop against Argentina on September 21st at the opening (23-21), proved to be friable (50% success) against Scotland ( 32-3) on August 17 in Nice, the first preparation game of the Blues.
Ramos (24, 8 sel.) Had his side stumbled for the last time a week later against the same XV Thistle in Edinburgh (14-17), succeeding his two kicks (two transformations).
