 A few months before the Rugby World Cup, which France played the most at the start of the season?

The Rugby World Cup 2023 is in a few months. Fabien Galthie expects that his players will be able to manage themselves. But which France has played the most at the start of the season? Fabien Galthie passed on the communication to the Top 14 clubs in this pre-2023 Rugby World Cup time. The players of the 15 of France must manage their physique so as not to reach their successions flat already the planetary meeting.

While the initial leg of the Highest 14 has just finished, Actually Rugby took a view at the playing times of French internationals at the start of the time. We took the 44 players (by eliminating Virimi Vakatawa, today retired) who wore the France jersey in this year 2022. Who played the most (club and national squad joint)? The smallest played at the start of the time? Here are all the responses.

Thomas Ramos most used

The French international who has the longest playing time at the start of the 2023 pre-World Cup season is… Thomas Ramos (1036 minutes). The Toulousain was not necessarily the first name that came to mind, but it is clear that he played the 3 matches of the Blues this fall in full and that Toulouse regularly aligned him due to the injuries of Romain Ntamack and Melvyn Jaminet.

Behind him, we find two major players of the XV of France: Damian Penaud (1025 minutes), the best scorer in 2022 (8 tries), and the marathon runner Gregory Alldritt (1011 minutes). The Rochelais is therefore the most sought-after tricolor forward at the start of the season. He shouldn't arrive at the World Cup in France on his knees...

Anthony Jelonch: 956 mins, Matthis Lebel: 955 mins, Cameron Woki: 917 mins, Maxime Lucu: 911 mins, Yoram Moefana: 888 mins, Jonathan Danty: 869 mins, Antoine Dupont: 861 mins, Charles Ollivon: 857 mins, Max Spring: 797 mins, Yoan Tanga: 772 mins, Matthieu Jalibert: 750 mins, Sekou Macalou: 743 mins.

Uini Atonio, first line who has played the most

Following, among the significant figures, note that Rochelais Uini Atonio is the front-row player who has the longest playing time (714 min). He is ahead of his club teammate, hooker Pierre Bourgarit (675 min).

Uini Atonio: 714 min,Ibrahim Diallo: 703 mins, Romain Ntamack: 686 mins, Pierre Bourgarit: 675 mins,Julien Marchand: 663 mins, Reda Wardi: 656 mins, Antoine Hastoy: 644 min, Gael Fickou: 634 min, Dylan Cretin: 630 mins, Baptiste Couilloud: 630 mins,Romain Taofifenua: 616 mins, Florian Verhaeghe: 610 mins, Peato Mauvaka: 595 mins, Dany Priso: 549 mins, Thibaud Flament: 547 mins, Mohamed Haouas: 521 mins, Bastien Chalureau: 510 minutes, Melvyn Jaminet: 456 min, Sipili Falatea: 435 mins, Selevasio Tolofua: 431 mins, Thomas Jolmes: 404 mins

Demba Bamba, the only France who has not played

Conversely, some France had reduced playing time. This is the case for Paul Willemse and Cyril Baille. Who suffered injuries. Similar story for Gabin Villiere. Who had a nightmare with an ankle. Francois Cros, only continued for 3 minutes, Relapsing for his coming back to the Highest 14 at one of his knees.

Finally, only one Blue used in 2022 has not played since the resumption of the Top 14 in early September. It is the pillar of Lyon, Demba Bamba. At the end of July, he seriously injured his knee and underwent surgery. His absence is estimated at six months. 

Paul Willemse: 396 mins, Thomas Lavault: 366 mins, Cyril Baille: 240 mins, Jean-Baptiste Gros: 181 mins, Gabin Villiere: 80 mins, Francois Cros: 3 mins, Demba Bamba: 0 mins

Even if it is not necessarily revealing. Here are the playing times of some players playing in Europe: Jonathan Sexton (271 minutes), Owen Farrell (998 min), Josh Van der Flier (627 min), Hamish Watson (325 min), Toby Faletau (675 mins).

He records year for the XV of France in Rugby 2022

A series still in progress of thirteen consecutive victories, a Grand Slam in the Six Nations Tournament: France has managed the year 2022 close to perfection. And will be the favorite of its 2023 Rugby World Cup at home. This dream season had two highlights: the first, on November 20, 2021. With a memorable match against the All Blacks, defeated 40 to 25 at the Stade de France in front of 80,000. Ecstatic spectators, so much to make eyes at Romain Ntamack and others that. Thirty minutes after the end of the meeting, they were still singing their joy in the stands of the Dionysian enclosure.

And the second on March 19 thanks to their victory over England (25-13). The Blues won their 26th Six Nations Tournament, with a tenth Grand Slam at stake and the first since 2010. De facto imposing themselves in the eyes of the oval planet as the big favorites for the Rugby World Cup. Which will take place on their soil from September 8 to October 28, 2023. The objective is to arrive as strong as possible at the Rugby World Cup. This deadline is there and we will try to get there with the greatest possible potential,” said coach Fabien Galthie after the autumn tests.

Winners of the Sudaf

Before cutting the thorns at XV de la Rose. The band of scrum-half Antoine Dupont, promoted to captain. Had in turn tamed Italy (37-10) and Ireland (30-24) in Saint-Denis. Then Scotland (36-17) in Edinburgh and finally Wales (13-9) in Cardiff. Not satisfied, however, she continued her series of victories during a tour of Japan (two in the land of the Rising Sun, with a "bis" team, the executives having been left to rest), before winning the three matches of his fall tour.

And not against anyone! The Blues first beat Australia (30-29) at the Stade de France. Before taking over the South African world champions (30-26) in Marseille. To finish in style against Japan (35-17) in Toulouse. The icing on the cake: Dupont. Already named the best player in the world in 2021, was voted best player of the Tournament. And winger Damian Penaud received the same distinction at the end of the autumn tour.

And even if the title of the best player in the world 2022 escaped the French. It was the Irishman Josh van der Flier who received the trophy in Monaco on November 20. The third row Gregory Alldritt, European champion at the end of May with Stade Rochelais, and Dupont was in the standard team of the year.

Thirteen in a row

Without forgetting Cameron Woki who won in the second row. Thomas Ramos as a credible alternative at the back, Penaud who piles up the tribes. And Charles Ollivon back in top form. With this workforce, the Blues, who end 2022 undefeated. Setting a new record of thirteen consecutive victories, can see it coming. So, will this 13 bring them bad luck, at the dawn of starting the crucial year 2023 for French rugby?

Before embarking on the conquest of the first world trophy for the XV of France. The team at Le Coq will have to defend its title during the Tournament. Which will begin on February 5 in Rome against an Italian selection that has gained strength. 'Assurance.

The Transalpine, led by their opener Paolo Garbisi and by the back winger Ange Capuozzo. No longer fear the big teams they beat Wales this year (22-21) in Cardiff. The first Italian victory in the Tournament since 2015, before signing a historic success against Australia (28-27) in November.
