Guilhem Guirado, captain of the XV of France, left a doubt on Saturday for the participation of winger Damian Penaud in the quarter-finals of the World Cup Sunday against Wales in Oita (southern Japan): "We will see tonight if it is operational, "he said.
Penaud (23 years old, 15 sel.), One of the main offensive weapons of the Blues, was tenured by the coach Jacques Brunel after being spared since Sunday because of an inflammation in the pubis.
"He did the training with us (Friday), I think he will take a test today, we will see tonight if he is operational, do not rush too much," Guirado told reporters. , before adding: "It is sure he is in shape and that everything is fine".
Penaud and the rest of his teammates on Saturday afternoon set up the field of Danoharu Sports Park Oita, a session that took place during the twenty minutes open to the press, at reduced speed.
In case he should give up, his teammate in Clermont, Alivereti Raka, would probably replace him.
