Galthie announces French squad for Six Nations

France boss Fabien Galthie has announced his squad to take on the best of Europe in the 2022 Six Nations. The squad includes 7 new caps.

France commence their campaign on 5 February when they take on the Italians at Stade de France. 

Les Bleus' form at the end of last year is indicative that they will again be a force to be reckoned with, with many already touting them as favourites to take the title.

The 25-year-old missed Toulouse’s European Champions Cup defeat by Wasps this past weekend with an unspecified injury.
