This Sunday evening, the FFR communicated the six players called by Fabien Galthié to prepare for the match against Ireland. Author of a good performance against La Rochelle, Melvyn Jaminet is out. Parisian Léo Barré is summoned to cover the full-back position. Posolo Tuilagi and Lenni Nouchi are also in the group of 34.

Melvyn Jaminet is unlucky. This Saturday evening, the Toulon back had a solid match against La Rochelle, notably with a 100% on the foot. He scored the winning penalty seconds before the final whistle.

Logically, the former Toulouse player was expected at Marcoussis to prepare for the match against Ireland. It won’t happen. The FFR announced this Sunday evening the Varois’ package. Victim of a crutch, he cannot hold his place. This package “benefits” Léo Barré. The young Parisian is one of the six players who complete the group of 34.

Tuilagi and Nouchi earned their place

It was expected, Posolo Tuilagi joined the France group to prepare for the Tournament. Initially not present in the list of 34 communicated by Fabien Galthié, the Perpignan player scored points last Thursday during high-intensity training. He who had joined Marcoussis for just one day before returning to Usap to play against Lyon. This Saturday, the Catalan colossus was also to his advantage.

For Lenni Nouchi, it’s almost the same fate. The Montpellier resident also visited Marcoussis with Tuilagi last week. The U20 world champion also earned his place.

For their part, Esteban Abadie, Gaëtan Barlot and Émilien Gailleton are still there. The three men all started with their club this weekend and will return to the capital. Matthias Halagahu and Alexandre Roumat (starter this Sunday evening with Toulouse) come out of the group.
