フラン could switch Dupont 交替／補充 depending on 対抗者s
By Julien Pretot
PARIS, Sept 24 (Reuters) - With Antoine Dupont 負傷させるd for at least フラン's final Pool A World Cup game against Italy, 長，率いる coach Fabien Galthie could 選ぶ to switch between Maxime Lucu or Baptiste Couilloud at scrumhalf depending on the 対抗者 instead of 指名するing just one of them.
Dupont underwent 外科 on a facial 傷害 on Friday and will stay with the squad, but he is a major 疑問 for a 可能性のある ４半期/4分の1-final 衝突／不一致 against defending 支持する／優勝者s South Africa.
Les Bleus, who are already without 負傷させるd flyhalf Romain Ntamack at the World Cup, will 最高の，を越す Pool A if they （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 the Azzurri on Oct. 6 in Lyon.
Lucu was disappointing in フラン's 27-12 勝利，勝つ against Uruguay while Couilloud was scintillating when he （機の）カム on for Dupont in Thursday's 96-0 demolition of Namibia, but there were mitigating factors in both 業績／成果s.
Lucu was part of a reserve team who were 大部分は under par while Couilloud stepped の上に the field in a game that フラン were 支配するing with their best players.
Former フラン scrumhalf Guy Accoceberry - part of the team that won a Five Nations Grand 激突する in 1997 and finished third at the 1995 World Cup - believes Galthie should decide who starts depending on the 対抗者s' profile.
NO PERFECT REPLACEMENT
"First we need to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Italy, having in mind that both players will be on the match sheet and one can 取って代わる the other to 訂正する if things go wrong," Accoceberry told Reuters on Sunday.
"Max Lucu is いっそう少なく flamboyant than Baptiste Couilloud, but he is 最高の 一貫した and reliable. Also, he plays his club rugby with (flyhalf) Matthieu Jalibert. He's going to be the player who follows the game 計画（する） p erfectly."
While he is a solid player like Dupont, Lucu 欠如（する）s the フラン captain's 誘発する, which Couilloud could 供給する.
"They both have 質s that Antoine Dupont has, it's just that all of those 質s are not in the same player," Accoceberry explained.
"Baptiste Couilloud can break the lines and finish it off like Dupont does, while Max Lucu is more ふさわしい for 状況／情勢s when フラン abandon 所有／入手, defend and kick the ball a lot.
"However, I'm sure that Fabien Galthie had already thought about playing without Antoine because he 心配するs everything."
Another 選択 might have been to bring in Baptiste Serin and keep Lucu and Couilloud as finishers, but that would mean Dupont is 支配するd out of the tournament, which is not the 事例／患者 yet.
"I think he will be 支援する," said Accoceberry.
"And this is going to 上げる the squad. They will be 解雇する／砲火／射撃d up against Italy to give Antoine the 適切な時期 to play the ４半期/4分の1-決勝戦, and if he can only make it 支援する for the 半分s, they will also be 解雇する／砲火／射撃d up to give him the chance to play that game. He is still with the squad, his presence is invaluable." (報告（する）／憶測ing by Julien Pretot; Editing by Hugh Lawson)
