XV from France. In England, New Zealand and all over France, this is where the blues were born!

Rich variety

What makes the strength of this French team is first and foremost its union, as it operates in a club all year round, but also its diversity! In this France 2023 squad, three players weren’t born on French soil, such as young Attonio, Willems and Guilleton. The latter could be joined by Emmanuel Miafo, who is of New Zealand descent. This XV from France also consists of players born in DOM-TOM, in the person of Peato Mauvaka and Yoram Moefana. The former was born on Caledonian soil, while Moifana was born in Futuna. As for the other thirty-seven champions, their first steps have been taken in the French capital! To make all of this more clear, we’re putting together a blues birth chart below.

As you understand, the Occitani region is undoubtedly the region that provides the largest number of players for the France team. Among them, we can find Dupont, Marchand, Ntamack, Ramos and Cros. Montpellier residents Arthur Vincent and Bastien Chalauroux are also Occitan, as are Rochelais-Bourgaret, Eldret and Wardi. Ile-de-France also has its share of talent, with seven members from XV France! We find Danty and Flament there in the center of the capital, and in the Parisian suburbs Tanga, Woki and Bamba are from 93. Sekou Macalou is from 95, and Matthieu Jalibert was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye In the 78. On the Rhone-Alpes side, Léoné Coelho, Dumorthier and Chrétien were born there, as well as Thomas Laclayat and Louis-Baile Barry. In the top half of France, only three players are represented. To the south, Paul Bodhunt grew up in the Pays de la Loire. Then, Gabin Villiers is the ardent Normandy actor. Finally, as far north as possible, Montpellier Florian Verhaaghe was born in Dunkirk!

Excluded. Football. “I want to make a bond,” retiree Benjamin Fall relishes his new activity!
