Led by Eddie Jones, Japan is in the midst of a rebuild. The eccentric coach wants to make it the fastest team of all time, but it suffers on the physical side of the game with sizes that are below international level. The Japanese are coming off two heavy defeats in a row against New Zealand (19-64) and Fiji (41-17).
With Romain Ntamack injured, Mathieu Jalibert, who was brilliant with Bordeaux-Begles, was the legitimate replacement. The fly-half had already played this role during the last World Cup and at the start of the previous Six Nations Tournament. To everyone's surprise, the fly-half was relegated to the bench in favor of Thomas Ramos, who is a full-back by training. A choice that is surprising in the microcosm of rugby. Fabien Galthiá explained: “It was the talent and the level of play that pushed us to choose this Dupont-Ramos hinge. If we study the performance of a team, one of the key factors of success is the collective experience. Take it as you will, but if you look at club teams, national teams, one of the essential criteria is collective experience. In the adaptation and search for performance, we first take the most efficient players. This hinge is essential among the starters. However, Matthieu Jalibert, who has been with us for five years, counts because he performs with his club, just as he performed with the French XV. So we are counting on his level of rugby.”
Eddie Jones has entrusted the armband to Tatekawa for this France – Japan.
Questionné In a press conference on his choices, the coach of the French XV justified himself: “I prefer to talk about continuity and emulation. There is only one new cap with Tevita (Tatafu) who had already joined us before the summer to prepare for the tour in Argentina, even if he could not yet play with us. For the rest, all the players have already été capés. It is a France group that is heading towards this match, thanks to the renegotiated agreements with the League to rework at 42 and for two weeks. This first composition, it is the team in the best shape at the moment. It is therefore above all a é France team where there is emulation, with players who push for competition."
