Sport Despite the sad absence of Jelonch, France retain one of the best third lines in the world.
This Saturday, March 11 at Twickenham, the Blues corrected England. A victory that gave way to reactions with nuance. But on the ground, the debates were clearly unbalanced. For good reason, France pulverized England. In this score, his third line delivered a recital. As accomplices as they are complementary, Ollivon, Cros and Alldritt splashed the lawn of their class. In addition, the Toulouse flanker is the co-best tackler in the game. With 13 tackles, he is tied with Gaël Fickou and Alex Dombrandt, according to statistics fromESPN Scrum.
For their part, Grégory Alldritt and Charles Ollivon took advantage of the French superiority with the ball in hand to show their athletic quality. Thus, the Toulonnais and former captain of the XV of France scores a double on the pre English. He also travels 38 meters in 12 runs and performs 2 offloads. As for Rochelais, his presence on the pitch was felt by his power. With 71 meters covered in possession of the ball, he is the forward with the highest total of the match. Best of all, his 15 charges mean he averages around 5 meters every time he grabs the leather.
Sport A third line amputated from Jelonch
Against Scotland, the victory did not give way to euphoria. For good reason, the third row Anthony Jelonch seriously injured his knee trying to tackle Duhan van der Merwe. The mines were gray and the sporting prospects of the XV of France and the player were impacted. Injured for a long time, François Cros had been giving up his place for a while on the side of the blue fray. Logically, the former Castres replaced him, he who was used to the bench of the selection until then. With Jelonch injured and now recovered, Cros was able to take advantage of this legendary Crunch to show himself in his best light.
