That should be enough time for him to return for the final two matches of the tournament, against Wales on March 10 and historic rivals England on March 16.

Alldritt — who head coach Fabien Galthie named captain in the absence of Antoine Dupont as he seeks Olympic gold in Paris this year with the sevens team — has a ready-made replacement as skipper in Charles Ollivon.

The Toulon backrow forward was Galthie’s first captain when he took over as head coach following the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

France will be bidding to make it two successive wins when they face the Italians as they try to rebuild their morale after a 38-17 hammering in the opening game at home to titleholders Ireland.

Italy arrive on the back of two defeats, the latter one a 36-0 thrashing by the Irish last Sunday.
