Seco McCullough (State Francois, 26, 3 hats), Captain Anthony Jelonch (Castress, 24, 8 hats) and Dylan Gretin (Leon, 24, 10 hats) placed third, while Romain Tofifenua (30, 25 hats) ) And Gillian Gerasi (Lyon, 22, 2 hats) second.

It’s an opportunity for many to assert themselves, to express themselves, and to get on France’s XV’s Wagon two and a half years before the World Cup,” said Fabian Chaldea.
