Midi Olympique reveals this Monday that after the semi-finals of the Top 14, five Bayonnais and four Toulonnais were summoned to Marcoussis. They should therefore fly to the tour in New Zealand on Tuesday.
Tuesday, Fabien Galkié will unveil the list of 37 to 42 players who will fly away a few hours later for New Zealand, to play the summer tour, with three games against the All Blacks scheduled for July 5, 12 and 19. In this list, we will find a maximum of five players who will play the final of the Top 14 between Toulouse and Bordeaux-Bègles on Saturday, and who will therefore join their teammates later. And we also find Bayonnais and Toulonnais, eliminated in the semi-finals this weekend.
Olympic Midi This Monday reveals the name of the lucky on Monday elected officials on the RCT and Aviron side.
Five Bayonnais and four Toulonnais were asked to rally Marcoussis for Tuesday training, which should mean that they will go well in New Zealand in stride, except physical problem. On the rowing side, this is the opener Joris Segonds (28 years old), the third Esteban Capilla (22), the back Cheikh Tiberghien (25), the versatile Arnaud Erbinartegaray (24) and the winger Tom Spring (22). These players, symbols of the magnificent season of the Basque club, have never known a selection, even if Segonds had taken part in the tour in Argentina last summer.
Villière in accustomed
Regarding the Toulonnais, this is the second line Matthias Halagahu (23), the third Esteban Abadie (27), the rear Marius Domon (23) and the winger Gabin Villière (29). The latter is a regular in the France group, since he already has 18 selections (for 8 trials marked), the last against Argentina in the fall of 2024. Esteban Abadie also already worn the blue jersey, but only once, during the sad draw against Italy during the 6 nations 2024 tournament.
Let us recall that an uncertainty still weighs on the back of the Stade Français Léo Barré, victim of a stand in training last week, and on the third line of Racing 92 Cameron Woki, which refused the sanction on Sunday (which was not revealed) that World Rugby inflicted on him after his red card received against England (as the new regulation set in place). It will be heard Tuesday by the disciple commission commission.
