France – Argentina: Galthié still makes strong choices in his line-up! Time, TV channel of the match

For this France – Argentina, Fabien Galthié op&eacute made new strong choices in his starting XV.

It's now a refrain, Galthié doesn't hesitate to hit the table with his key players. After Fickou and Ollivon, not called up for Japan, then Jalibert, left out of the group for the All Blacks and for this match against Argentina, it's Alldritt who pays the price for his last lackluster performances. As a result, Ollivon is a starter in the third row centre with Cros and Boudehent at his sides. Choices that the French coach defends, for the competitiveness of the group: “My wish is that there is a very strong emulation. It is essential to develop the potentials that deserve it and that emerge. This tour is the starting point of the path to the 2027 World Cup”.

It will also be an opportunity to see Atonio back in blue, 8 months after his last call-up. The right pillar is benefiting in particular from Tatafu's injury. At the back, Buros will not continue and sees Barré take his place at 15 while Gazzotti takes advantage of a 6-2 bench to record his very first goal with the Blues.

From Pumas to French accent

Contepomi has lined up a team with a strong French accent, since 5 of its regular players play in the Top 14. Up front, we find Sclavi (Stade Rochelais), Petti (UBB) and Oviedo (Perpignan). Behind, Delguy (ASM Clermont) on the wing while Mallia (Stade Toulousain) is lined up in 15. The Argentinian coach is banking on continuity making only one change after the narrow defeat in Ireland (22-19).
