The victory of the XV of France in Cardiff against Wales (27-23) left traces on the side of the Blues. Released on injury during the meeting, Cyril Baille suffers from a dislocation of the right shoulder. The Toulousain is forfeited for the rest of the VI Nations Tournament.

It's a heavy blow for Fabien Galthié. The young left pillar held in the first three games. He will therefore miss the trip to Scotland and the reception from Ireland in early March. He should be away between four and six weeks.

Unfortunately end of the tournament for me, dislocation of the right shoulder which will keep me away from the field for a few weeks I will be your first supporter for the last 2 games 🤞🏻❤️ @FranceRugby pic.twitter.com/x0sIjDuAxx

Poirot's return?

The staff of the XV of France should quickly communicate their replacement. Chances are it's Jefferson Poirot.

Not selected for the trip to Cardiff, the mainstay of the Bordeaux-Bègles Union won with his club in Clermont on Saturday evening (31-22) and could quickly return to Marcoussis. Another solution is the Toulousain Clément Castets.
