Fabien Galthie has named a 32-player initial France squad that will assemble at their Marcoussis training base this week, 19 of which are uncapped.

Among those uncapped players is Toulon-bound centre Antoine Frisch, who has been the subject of a tug-of-war between France and Ireland in recent months, but made his Test ambitions clear in April by confirming his desire to play for the country of his birth, France.

Les Bleus will take on Argentina in two Tests in July, with a midweek match against Argentina sandwiched in between.

      Walk the Talk with Eddie Jones – Trailer | RPTV

      Eddie Jones reflects on his career, rugby’s growth in Japan, coaching England and Australia, South African rugby and much more. Full episode coming Tuesday 18 June on RPTV

      Coming soon

      The squad will of course take on a different hue once the Top 14 season is over, as it is currently lacking players from semi-finalists Toulouse, Stade Francais, Bordeaux-Begles or La Rochelle.

      Toulouse face La Rochelle this Friday, with Stade Francais playing Bordeaux the day after. Those teams (specifically Toulouse, Bordeaux and La Rochelle) have been the mother lode of players in Galthie’s France squads in recent years.
