The three-quarter center of the US Dax Noah Néné (20 years old) should be one of the 42 players called up by Fabien Galthié tomorrow to prepare for the 6 Nations Tournament.
It is this Wednesday that Fabien Galthié will announce his list of 42 players to prepare for the 6 Nations Tournament. As announced at the start of the evening by our colleagues from South Radio – information that we are able to confirm – the big surprise on this list should be named Noah Néné. The news, kept secret, began to spread at the end of the day on the Landes coast. Several sources confirmed this to us early this evening.
Dubois: “He has enormous potential”
Loaned this summer by Stade français Paris to US Dax, Noah Néné (20 years old) quickly splashed all his talent on the Pro D2 fields. He has played 12 matches since the start of the season (7 starts) and scored three tries. We remember, in particular, the last one he scored against Stade Monois, during the Landes derby, where he went up half the field alone.
Quick with the ball in hand, strong on impact, Néné (1.92m for 103kg), is the big guy at the moment in Pro D2, and one of the most dangerous players offensively for fifth-placed US Dax. of the ranking. “He has enormous potential, underlined, in November, his manager Jeff Dubois. He still needs to work and Laurent Labit, his coach at Stade Français, came to see him to assess his performance. In the game without the ball, he is like a young man of 20… He is a little lazy in certain phases (laughs). With the ball, he is extraordinary. He has gas in his legs.“
Nene: “Spend my entire career in Paris and break through when I return there”
Barred by competition in Paris, his choice to join the second division is paying off. “I already wanted to be loaned during the 2023-2024 season. A few clubs were interested, but Stade Français didn’t really want me to leave”, he explained to us last September. The good relations between Laurent Labit, Jeff Dubois and Antoine Ratinaud (the player’s agent, who was trained by Dubois at Massy), ultimately made this loan possible. “My goal is to spend my entire career in Paris and to break through when I return there.”, he continued during this interview.
After knowing the French youth team jersey (a selection for the 2023-2024 season), number twelve should therefore experience, this winter, a first call-up with the big XV of France. A first step towards the (very) high level.
