Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
According to Midi Olympique, Julian Marchand could be absent for 4/5 weeks after his injury against NZ, and could be available for the quarter final. Peato Mauvaka et Pierre Bougarit and more than competent hooker replacements.

Think they will just risk the 2 hookers then or replace him?Robespierre wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 3:54 pm According to Midi Olympique, Julian Marchand could be absent for 4/5 weeks after his injury against NZ, and could be available for the quarter final.

Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
Squad prop Falatea has some experience as hooker so a replacement is unlikely

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
The Springbok fly half Libbok has glowing reviews from the press after yesterday’s game, and I wonder if he’ll be first choice 10 come the knockout matches, even if Pollard becomes available?

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
He was brilliant in the European Cup and URC last season. The only thing that may count against him is his goal kicking.Robespierre wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 9:35 am The Springbok fly half Libbok has glowing reviews from the press after yesterday’s game, and I wonder if he’ll be first choice 10 come the knockout matches, even if Pollard becomes available?
I did wonder if Grant Williams might be worthy of a start at 9 but De Klerk is probably undropable. We saw a glimpse of his running threat towards the end of yesterday’s game.

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
The diagnosis of Marchand's injury is a torn hamstring (I thought that only the girls in the backs had hamstrings!) and could be unavailable for 4-5 weeks and maybe fit for selection come the QFs. No replacement is planned.Robespierre wrote: ↑Sat Sep 09, 2023 4:04 pmSquad prop Falatea has some experience as hooker so a replacement is unlikely

Re: World Cup Squad Announcements
According to Midi Olympique, this will be the likely starting XV for France in Thursday evening's pool match against Uruguay in Lille:
15. Jaminet ; 14. Bielle-Biarrey, 13. Vincent, 12. Moefana, 11. Villière ; 10. Hastoy, 9. Lucu ; 7. Macalou, 8. Jelonch, 6. Boudehent ; 5. Taofifenua, 4. Woki ; 3. Aldegheri, 2. Bourgarit, 1. Gros.
Only Woki, Moefana and Villière remain from the starting XV against NZ, but there's a return to the side from injury of Toulouse back row forward Antony Jelonch, who'll probably play 8, and will be captain too.
