France have named a squad of 35 players for the upcoming Women’s Six Nations which will be led by Gaëlle Hermet.
Les Bleues will take on Wales and Ireland in the new format of the competition, before a classification game to finish.
And head coach Annick Hayraud has been able to call on an experienced squad, with Hermet continuing in her role as skipper.
Elsewhere in the squad Safi N’Diaye, Jessy Trémoulière and Pauline Bourdon are all included.
France beat Wales 50-0 in their meeting in the 2020 Women’s Six Nations, but their game against Ireland was cancelled.
They will host the Welsh in their opening contest at the Stade de la Rabine in Vannes on April 3, before heading to Donnybrook to take on Ireland in their second match a fortnight later.
