6 Nations. Here are the 20 players from the French XV sent back to the club before the 15th day of Top 14

Gathered since the start of the week in Marcoussis, the 42 players summoned by Fabien Galthié for the preparation of the 6 Nations Tournament 2025 are now only 23. Here is the list of 20 players sent back to their club before the 15^e Top 14 day.

XV of France: 20 players sent back to their club

It is now a classic of the functioning of the French XV under the Fabien Galthié era: a French group “split” in two, with so-called “premium” players who are spared certain tasks and others who are a little less protected.

This second group, a priori less concerned by the very short term with the Blues, namely the reception of Wales for the opening of the 6 Nations on January 31, therefore constitutes the list of 19 players sent back to their club before the 15^e Top 14 day.

Flament, Lucu and Jalibert leave Marcoussis

Exceptionally, the Top 14 clubs are not the only ones to register significant reinforcements before their next deadlines. Indeed, Noah Nene, the big surprise of the first list of 2025, is also returning to Dax who will be in Soyaux-Angoulême this Friday January 24 on behalf of the 18^e Pro D2 day.

More surprising, however, are the dismissals of major elements of the France group, such as the hinge of the UBB Maxime Lucu – Matthieu Jalibert or even the 2^e line of Toulouse Thibaud Flament, who for his part would be injured and forfeit against the Welsh as announced The Team. On the Toulon side, we can be delighted to recover two wingers, among others.
