The captain of the XV of France Grégory Alldritt was taken out on a stretcher on Saturday in Edinburgh during the match against Scotland, on behalf of the 2nd day of the Six Nations Tournament.

The third row of La Rochelle (26 years old, 46 caps) was injured on a ruck just before the 50th minute, visibly affected in the left knee, where the Gersois had a wound. He was replaced by his club partner Paul Boudehent (24 years old, 7 selections).

He wanted to be reassuring about his condition after the end of this meeting won at the last minute by the French (16-20). "Everything is fine, I have a few stitches in my thigh", he simply declared on France 2 at the end of the match counting for the 2nd day of the Six Nations Tournament.

At the time of his exit to the applause of Murrayfield, the Blues were led 13-10 by the XV du Chardon.
