Florian Verhaeghe will know his first selection at 24 years old. The second line of Montpellier was called this Monday by coach Fabien Galthié, to participate in the autumn tour of the France team.
The MHR player (2.02m) is part of a list of 42, which includes nine boys never called until there. Originally from the north of France, trained in Montauban, passed through Toulouse, the young man had already played with the France U20 team.
On his record, he has a title of champion of France with the Stade Toulousain in 2019, a title of European champion with the U18 tricolor and of course the European Challenge with Montpellier, last season.
The Blues, who will also rely on Paul Willemse, will face Argentina on November 6 (Stade de France), Georgia eight days later (Bordeaux) and New Zealand on November 20 (Stade de France).
