Fickou will make even more history, the center will equal a legend of the Blues

Gaël Fickou continues his magnificent adventure with the XV of France and the Racing 92 center will start tomorrow evening during the last test match of the autumn tour against Argentina. After starting the autumn tour as a substitute against Japan, Fickou regained his starting place against New Zealand. And the history of the XV of France will now have a second start against the Pumas. And thanks to this new cape, he will equal a legend of the XV of France and enter even more into the history of his selection.

Fickou will match Blanco

Because the center of the Blues, who has more than ten years of international career, will reach the historic top 4 during France – Argentina. He will honor his 92nd selection, which will make him the fifth most historic player, tied with a certain… Serge Blanco. Fickou is gradually getting closer to the record of Fabien Pelous, n°1 of the most capped players and who is 26 games ahead of the Racing 92 player. Tomorrow evening, Fickou will still be valuable for Fabien Galthié, who should do it again a starter at the 2025 Six Nations Tournament. This will be the 13th Six Nations Tournament in a row for Fickou, who could match Raphaël Ibanez and climb onto the podium of the most capped players with 98 caps if he plays every Six Nations match. For the moment, this is not yet the case but the center of the Blues will therefore already enter the top 4 of players with the most selections within the XV of France and that is no small thing.
