France head Fabien Galthie said on Tuesday he had half a dozen options to replace regular skipper Charles Ollivon, who will miss the November Tests with a serious knee injury. "There are five or six players who have the possibility of being captain," Galthie told AFP. Galthie, who took over after the 2019 Rugby World Cup, has had to name weakened teams twice during his tenure. "The squad's not closed but we've identified all the potential players, we pretty much have them ranked," he said. Although the French club season does not start until September 4, Galthie said he would spend the break reviewing the Australia tour and looking at other Test matches.
