Penaud ruled out for France again

Unfortuante news from France on Tuesday, Damian Penaud was forced to withdraw yet again, from playing Le Bleus's second test match of the autumn tour against New Zealand (Saturday, 9:10 p.m. at the Stade de France).

The UBB winger missed the first match against the Japan  after failing to recover from an illness last week and had to leave the team in Marcoussis and returned home to Bordeaux

Gabin Villière is expected to replace Penaud since Théo Attisogbe, who injured his knee against Japan, is not fit. The Toulon winger's last appearance for the Blues dates back to the 2023 World Cup against Uruguay (27-12).
