A new kid in Marcoussis. For the first time in his young career, the third line of Pau Jordan Joseph was summoned to the Blues by Fabien Galthié. The former Racing, 21, comes to compensate for the fixed price of Castrais Florent Vanverberghe. He thus joins a group of 42 players who will prepare for the trip to Scotland next Saturday as part of the 3rd day of the Six Nations Tournament. France is currently at the top of the standings with two successes in as many games once morest Italy (37-10) then Ireland (30-24).
Jordan Joseph is one of the great hopes of French rugby. The kind of player who encourages optimism regarding the future of a XV of France, already overflowing with talent. In 2018, he was voted best player of the Under-20 World Cup, won by Les Bleuets. Something to catch the eye of Racing where he will discover the Top 14. However, the adventure is cut short with the Hauts-de-Seine club. Lacking game time at the start of the season, he decided to join Pau, more than 700 km from the Paris region where he was born and grew up.
An obvious change of scenery but which in no way slows down the progress of the Ile-de-France colossus. The young third row quickly established itself as an indisputable holder in Béarn to the point of attracting the attention of Fabien Galthié. This Sunday, he saw his consistency rewarded. In addition to Jordan Joseph, the tricolor coach also called Stade Français player Pierre-Henri Azagoh and Montpellier player Anthony Bouthier. Two players who come to replace numerically Swan Rebbadj and Antoine Hastoy, injured this weekend in the Top 14.
