The third line of Stade Rochelais and the XV of France might be absent from the field until January. Anyone who has been playing match sheets for more than three years needs to recharge his batteries physically and mentally in the followingmath of the failure in the quarter-final of the World Cup.
Grégory Damn it that’s 92 match sheets since the start of the 2020-2021 season. And all this, without really a break. A tiring rhythm which is inevitably starting to be felt for the third line of the XV of France. According to information from Sud-Ouest, the international might stay away from the field until January. Mental wear and tear is mentioned but also physical wear and tear with a fragile right knee. After the World Cup quarter-final failure once morest the SpringboksGrégory Alldritt spoke of the need for a “long break”.
An agreement with Stade Rochelais?
It therefore seems that the time has come to recharge his batteries for the Rochelais who had only had a fortnight’s vacation between the final of Top 14 and the start of preparation for the World Cup. Still according to information from Sud-Ouest, Grégory Alldritt seems to have reached an agreement with Stade Rochelais to benefit from several weeks of rest. Precious weeks which might allow the Gersois to return to his best level. We would therefore have to wait a little more than two months to see the third line once more on the meadow…
As a reminder, during the 2020/2021 season the third line has 25 match sheets including 22 starts. The following season (2021/2022), 30 match sheets including 28 as a starter and during the 2022/2023 season he broke records with 31 appearances including 28 as a starter before returning to the French XV which had concocted rigorous physical preparation for his players… During this World Cup Grégory Alldritt only missed one preparation match and two matches during the group stage. Six games in total, starting each time and 409 minutes of play.
