The winger of the XV of France and Racing 92 Teddy Thomas, injured in a leg, will miss the first two days of the Six Nations Tournament. Thomas (28 years old, 28 selections), touched during the gathering of the Blues to prepare for the 2022 Tournament at the end of January, suffers from adductors and should be absent for at least three weeks.
He had left the Blues preparatory course in Aubagne (Bouches-du-Rhône) last Thursday to undergo an MRI, and was replaced in the France group of 42 players by his Racing teammate, Donovan Taofifenua.
Teddy Thomas will therefore at least miss the reception of Italy on February 6, as well as the following match, once morest Ireland, on the 12th, according to information from AFP, confirming that of RMC. Teddy Thomas, whose last selection dates from the tour of Australia in July, should be able to apply for the 3rd day, a trip to Scotland, on February 26. Even if his return in blue will most likely be in Cardiff, once morest Wales, on March 11.
During his absence during the autumn tests, and even for two of the three test matches of the summer in Australia when he was there, the wings of the XV of France were occupied by the Clermontois Damian Penaud and the Toulonnais Gabin Villière. Both players should be on the pitch once more for the start of the Six Nations Tournament.
