6 Nations 2024 – Blues’ likely line-up with Yoram Moifana on the left wing and Paul Gabriellegs in the cage
In the Marcoses, today’s session only confirmed what has been expected for a while: it is Yoram Moifana who should start on the left wing of France’s XV against Ireland while French stadium captain Paul Gabrielgs will start in the cage with Montpellier. Paul Willemse.
Thirty-four players have been called up by national coach Fabian Galthy to prepare for the first match of the 6 Nations tournament, ahead of the announcement of the squad to face Ireland at the Velodrome Stadium this Tuesday afternoon and Friday evening. The Green Devils once again trained at the Marcoses’ home ground.
Training with France’s XV saw Posolo Tuilagi make a leap up the hierarchy. Arriving as a visitor on Thursday, he earned a place in Fabian Galthy’s group of 34. Has Coach got his new UFO yet?https://t.co/eg1okORVlv

As was the case during the session the day before, it was Yoram Moifana who took the left winger position at CNR. Barring disaster, the Union Bordeaux-Bachels striker, author of a mixed World Cup but highly visible since his return to the club, should be established in Marseille, starting on the sidelines in his fellow UBB Louis Billet-Bayer.
Gabriellegs, in the name of combat
Yoram Moifana’s tenure aside, few surprises are expected in the Blues’ starting 15, which is two-thirds up from the last World Cup quarter-final. Stade Francais captain Paul Gabriellegs, who has been training in the second row for ten days, will actually outshine Cameron Walkie in the name of fighting dimension, for a defining moment on the Racingman side.
From what we could see during the two sessions earlier in the week, the French staff will eventually move to the bench with six forwards and two three-quarters (Nolan Le Garec and Louis Billet-Bayre). Thomas Ramos should bear the penalty.
Possible line-up against Ireland: 15. Ramos; 14. Penaud, 13. Dainty, 12. Fico, 11. Moifana; 10. Jalibert, 9. Luku; 7. Olivon, 8. Aldritt (cap.), 6. Cross; 5. Willems, 4. Gabriellegs; 3. Atonio, 2. Mauwaka, 1. Belle
substitute : 16. Marchand, 17. Vardy, 18. Aldegheri, 19. R. Taofifenua, 20. Baudehent, 21. Walkie, 22. Le Garec, 23. Bille-Bierre.
