Best marker of the XV of France in activity, Damian Penaud is not present for France – Pays de Wales this Friday.
Very close to Serge Blanco’s test record with the XV of France, Damian Penaud is absent from the first meeting of the 6 nations tournament between France and the Welsh. No behavior or choice problem of coach Fabien Gatlhié, Damian Penaud is simply injured and had to declare before the meeting. The Union Bordeaux Bègles player went to take exams in the week that revealed an injury to the toe which should keep him away from the field for about a week. As a reminder, the Bordeaux winger (28 years old, 53 selections) had already had to miss the fall tests because of a pulmonary infection. It is the Pau player, Theo Attissogbe, who will take his place on the wing for this opening match.
