According to information from Midi Olympique, the back of Stade Français Léo Barré is forfeited for the match between England and the French team a Saturday, and the Biterrois Gabin Lorre was called in reinforcement.
He should have holded the rear position for the friendly match between England and France on Saturday, in a largely altered France XV, deprived of the Top 14 semi-finalists. But Léo Barré will not crowd the lawn of Twickenham, if we believe the information of Olympic Midi (The French Rugby Federation has not yet communicated on this subject). The back of the Stade Français, 22 years old, and who has a selection in blue, was injured. The nature of his injury and the duration of his unavailability have not been revealed, but the native of Chesnay, if he is restored, is likely to take part in the tour in New Zealand in July.
Léo Barré, competition with Thomas Ramos for the No. 15 of the Blues, had played a single match of the last 6 Nations tournament, in Italy (victory 24-73), when the Toulousain had taken the n ° 10 of Romain Ntamack, suspended. And he had been very good, including two tests. Like only five finalists of the Top 14, maximum, will go on tour, Léo Barré can hope to have his place, him whose season at the Stade Français (22 games including 18 as a holder, 2 trials marked) concluded with a maintenance acquired in the last day.
Lorre, a formidable test marker
To replace it within the France group, Fabien Galkié’s staff called, still according to Olympic Midiat Gabin Lorre. The 23 -year -old Hérault rear has evolved in Béziers, in Pro D2, since 2021. He remains in a season at 27 games (24 as a holder) and 16 trials marked, within an ASBH which finished seventh. But Lorre will discover the Top 14 next season, since he signed up with the Lou, while he was under contract with Béziers until 2027. Gabin Lorre has an ultra -powerful left foot and is known for his freedom of play and his offensive spirit. What make Fabien Galkié want to give him a chance on Saturday?
