Galthie Laments Ntamack Loss as France Fly-Half Troubles Mount
Fabien Galthie is missing four fly-halves after Romain Ntamack’s shoulder injury, forcing France to reshuffle for the Springboks Test.
- France flyhalf Romain Ntamack suffered a "pretty serious" shoulder injury during Saturday's 54-17 Nations Championship victory over Fiji in Lyon, ruling him out for the remainder of the competition.

- France hosts world champions South Africa at the Stade de France in Paris on Friday, November 13, requiring an urgent solution at flyhalf for the highly anticipated Test match.
- Currently topping the northern hemisphere standings by two points from Ireland, France aims to maintain its pole position to reach the final in three weeks' time against the visiting Springboks.
