Romain Ntamack still not in the group
A few hours after unveiling the test results, the FFR announced the list of 31 players selected to prepare for the 3e match of the VI Nations match against Scotland, Sunday February 28 (4 p.m.), at the Stade de France.
Among them, we find the pillar Demba Bamba (Lyon, 14 caps), away from the field since December due to a cervical injury. Jean-Baptiste Gros (Toulon, 5 selections) and Swan Rebbadj (Toulon, 1 selection) will also join Marcoussis this Sunday, when the players and staff return to the National Rugby Center, after a few days of rest with their families. The three players replace Dorian Aldegheri (Toulouse, 8 selections), Hassane Kolingar (Racing 92, 3 selections) and Baptiste Pesenti (Pau, 2 selections) respectively, left at the disposal of their clubs.
The opening half Romain Ntamack (Toulouse, 18 caps), who recently resumed training with Toulouse after being the victim at the end of December of a double bill of the jaw, is still not in the group.
