France head coach Fabien Galthie<\/a> has named his 37-man squad that will take on the All Blacks<\/a> next month in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

The squad is comprised of players who either did not feature or had their minutes limited during this year\u2019s Guinness Six Nations<\/a> due to a French policy.<\/p>\n

In the absence of the injured Antoine Dupont<\/a> and the rested Gregory Alldritt<\/a>, Racing 92 centre Gael Fickou<\/a> will captain the squad.<\/p>\n

With the Top 14<\/a> final to be played on Saturday between Toulouse<\/a> and Bordeaux-Begles, Galthie will be allowed to extend his squad to 42 players. However, the players selected from the finalists must not have played excessively in the 2024\/25 season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

New Zealand <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

France <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fickou will be joined in the squad by his club-mate Cameron Woki<\/a>, who has been cleared to play following a red card against <\/a>England<\/a> XV at the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
