Injured in the left hamstring during the opening match of the World Cup once morest New Zealand (27-13), Julien Marchand should not be available before the quarter-finals. Speaking to the press, William Servat said that the hooker was hit following a foul by an opposing player.
Julien Marchand was injured once morest New Zealand (27-13). Friday, during the opening match of the World Cup, the hooker left the pitch at the Stade de France in the 12th minute. Suffering from a muscle injury in his left hamstring, the 28-year-old remained with the group despite an estimated absence of four weeks.
“An injury following a cleaning action”
At a press conference on Monday, William Servat returned to Julien Marchand’s injury: “We saw a lot of things but obviously there had been no other muscular alerts which would have caused anything. Julien’s injury follows a cleaning action which might have been penalized according to the new refereeing rules, estimated the co-coach of the conquest of the XV of France. He was hit in the hamstring. This can legitimately cause a red card.”
After a scrum, Julien Marchand was replaced by Peato Mauvaka. The Toulouse player should therefore miss the rest of the group stage, with matches once morest Uruguay, Namibia and Italy. He will carry out further examinations this weekend to determine the progress of his recovery.
The staff of the XV of France hopes for the return of Julien Marchand for the quarter-finals (weekend of October 14-15). In his absence, the position should be shared between Peato Mauvaka, Pierre Bourgarit and even Sipili Falatea. As a reminder, the final will take place on October 28.
