France has announced their 36-man squad for the 2025 Six Nations, with head coach Fabien Galthié retaining a mix of experienced leaders and promising young talent. Antoine Dupont, who remains pivotal to Les Bleus, is joined by returning stalwarts such as Grégory Alldritt and Julien Marchand.
In the forwards, Toulon lock Emmanuel Meafou makes his tournament debut, adding physicality to the pack, while young prospects like Marko Gazzotti and Joshua Brennan also feature. Cyril Baille, Uini Atonio, and François Cros bring stability to the front and back rows.
Among the backs, Théo Attissogbe and Gaël Dréan earn their first Six Nations call-ups, providing exciting options on the wings. Romain Ntamack and Matthieu Jalibert continue to headline the playmaker roles, while Damian Penaud and Gabin Villière add proven firepower in the wide channels.
The squad reflects Galthié's ongoing commitment to building depth ahead of the 2027 Rugby World Cup, with key absences due to injury, including Charles Ollivon and Arthur Vincent.
France will kick off their campaign at home against Italy on February 2, seeking to reclaim the ***le they last won in 2022. "We've assembled a squad capable of playing fast, dynamic rugby," said Galthié.
Forwards: Esteban Abadie, Dorian Aldegheri, Grégory Alldritt, Uini Atonio, Hugo Auradou, Cyril Baille, Giorgi Beria, Paul Boudehent, Joshua Brennan, Georges-Henri Colombe, François Cros, Thibaud Flament, Marko Gazzotti, Jean-Baptiste Gros, Mathias Halagahu, Oscar Jegou, Anthony Jelonch, Maxime Lamothe, Julien Marchand, Peato Mauvaka, Emmanuel Meafou, Dany Priso, Rabah Slimani, Romain Taofifenua.
Backs: Théo Attissogbe, Pierre-Louis Barassi, Léo Barré, Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Nicolas Depoortère, Gaël Dréan, Antoine Dupont, Antoine Frisch, Émilien Gailleton, Matthieu Jalibert, Nolann Le Garrec, Maxime Lucu, Yoram Moefana, Noah Nene, Romain Ntamack, Damian Penaud, Thomas Ramos, Gabin Villière.
