Six Nations: Jelonch will lead the new-faced French team in Australia

Six Nations Rugby Back-rower Anthony Jelonch will lead an inexpert French team on a summer tour to Australia.

Six Nations Rugby fans can buy France Six Nations Tickets from our website at discounted prices.

The 24-year-old started the French team's two games in the Guinness Six Nations in 2021, which were away against Ireland and at home against Scotland. He played in 23rd of all five games   Les Bleus finished second runner-up for the second year.

Fabien Galthié has 22 uncapped players in his 42-man lineup, with the French team losing the top 14 finalists, and many players have rested after a long season.

This presents opportunities for some youngsters as Jelonch will be the captain of the tour and plans to run three tests over ten days in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane.

Away in the squad, Damian Penaud, Gabin Villière and Teddy Thomas will fight for opportunities on the wing, while fullback Anthony Bouthier has broken through the wing over the past two seasons.

While there is no injured captain Charles Ollivon and No. 8 Gregory Alldritt, there are still some exciting options in the back row. Jelonch joined Lyon's Dylan Cretin, who served as the starting spot with him throughout the tournament, while Cameron Woki and Sekou Macalou were both impressive in the National Cup last fall.

In the absence of Romain Ntamack and Matthieu Jalibert, two-time World Under-20 rugby champion Luis Carbonell should be given a chance at halftime, with Arthur Vincent and Jonathan Danty also joining him in midfield.

Among the uncapped players are the experience of Racing 92 scrum-half Teddy Iribaren, as well as the potential of center Tani Vili, rear rower Ibrahim Diallo, and lock Florent Vanverberghe.
