End of tournament for Villière, injured in a hand and absent for six weeks

In the center, Gabin Villière -

It is as if the sky is falling on the XV of France.

The Toulon winger injured his hand during RC Toulon's victory against Racing in the Top 14 and will be unavailable for six weeks.

This therefore means that he will miss the end of the VI Nations Tournament.

A new blow for the Blues after the Covid-19 cluster.

Affected during the 18th day on Saturday night against Racing 92 (25-21 victory for Toulon), Gabin Villière "should undergo surgery in the next few hours", explained the Toulon Racing club in a press release.

Holder in the first two matches of the Tournament won by the XV of France, against Italy (50-10) and in Ireland (15-13) Villière (4 selections) will therefore miss the duel in England (March 13), as well as the reception from Wales (March 20) and Scotland whose postponement date has not yet been set.
