France coaches Gaelle Mignot and David Ortiz have announced a revamped 32-strong playing squad, contracted until June 2024, as a new era begins for the team.
Number eight Romane Ménager returns to the France starting line-up for their semi-final with hosts New Zealand at Eden Park after sitting out the last two matches following a head knock in the 13-7 loss to England in the pool stages.
An England World Cup win would send a message to their competitors. “If you want to match us on the field, you have to match us off it”.
