We can not even say that we are surprised ... The winger Teddy Thomas, holder in the first three games of the VI Nations Tournament, was not selected for the 4th day in Scotland, announced the manager of the XV by France Fabien Galthié by press release.
Author of an essay against Italy (35-22), the Racingman experienced too many defensive air holes, especially against Wales two weeks ago, to pretend that there was no not a concern. Like thirteen other players in the France group, Thomas therefore joins his club and will not play in Edinburgh on Sunday (4:00 p.m.).
14 players back in club
Besides Thomas, the second line Boris Palu (Racing 92) and the third line Cameron Woki (Bordeaux-Bègles), who entered the game against England (24-17) and Italy for their first selections, are also released.
The other unsuccessful young players, of which only Anthony Jelonch (23) has selections (2 in 2017), have been used to these shuttles between the national rugby center of Marcoussis and their club since the start of preparation for the Tournament. Fabien Galthié will announce Friday the team composition for Scotland, where France wants to continue to believe in the grand slam, which would be the first tricolor in ten years.
