🏉 Big Blow for France Ahead of Six Nations Showdown with Wales! 🇫🇷➡️🏴
Just days before the big clash in Cardiff, France faces a setback as centre star Nicolas Depoortere is out due to injury. The 23-year-old was pivotal in their 36-14 victory over Ireland, showcasing an electrifying performance. But now, France must strategise without him at the Principality Stadium.
As if that’s not enough, there’s worry over Yoram Moefana’s fitness too, after a knock to the knee from the last game. The French team is keeping their fingers crossed for his recovery.
With Depoortere sidelined, all eyes are on some fresh talent. Uncapped 20-year-old Fabien Brau-Boirie and 22-year-old Emilien Gailleton, with 11 caps, are in line to step up. Coach Patrick Arlettaz is optimistic, likening Brau-Boirie to French rugby legend Yannick Jauzion. 🏉🌟
Despite these challenges, the French squad remains confident and geared up after dominating Ireland. But they’re not underestimating Wales! Wing Louis Bielle-Biarrey emphasises the need for vigilance, noting Wales’ determination, especially given the ongoing professional uncertainties.
“We must win in Wales, which is always tough,” he said. “They’ve got resilient players looking to prove a point. We need to stay focused and well-prepared.”
French fans, does this change your predictions for Sunday’s epic encounter? Welsh supporters, are you more optimistic now?
