After the defeat against South Africa and the far from convincing victory against Fiji, the XV of France will try to end its November test series in style, this Saturday, with a duel against Australia at the Stade de France.
While Fabien Galthié has decided to maintain a certain continuity in his team composition, certain elements will be able to continue. This is particularly the case for Régis Montagne, who will experience his third consecutive tenure.

In a position of right pillar where the XV of France is looking for a successor to Uini Atonio, the Clermontois is the novelty of this year. The 25-year-old had his first selections this summer in New Zealand, and he continues this fall. Not without difficulty, which was highlighted in the press, and which is unfair according to his trainer Christophe Urios.
“It’s disgusting”
“I think the press is very harsh on him, frankly. I find it disgusting, even, railed the Jaunards coach about Régis Montagne. This is a kid who, a year ago, was playing in Pro D2. He’s a young player, he was in difficulty against the South Africans in the scrum, but hey, he’s not the only one. So I think it’s hard for him. »
” At the same time, continues Urios, it’s a learning phase at a very high level, and I find that at 25 years old, he is well established. If I believe the staff of the XV of France, they have confidence in him, obviously. They must build and continue to work with him. He must become the future right pillar of the XV of France. » That’s all the bad we can wish him.
