Injuries sustained in the Top 14 have forced France boss Fabien Galthie to make two changes to his squad for the three-match November campaign that starts against the Springboks on November 8.

Galthie’s 2025 Six Nations champions are due to take on Rassie Erasmus’ back-to-back Rugby World Cup winners in Paris, followed by other matches against Fiji and Australia.

It was October 24 when Galthie originally named his France squad of 42, but he has now had to amend it following the club injuries picked up by Bordeaux’s Matthieu Jalibert and Racing’s Romain Taofifenua.
