DANIEL BRENNAN, THE son of former Ireland international Trevor, has been named in the France squad for this year’s U20 Six Nations tournament.

Brennan, who in June last year signed a two-year contract with Toulouse, was already a France international at U17 and U18 levels

He made his debut for the U17 side against the USA in 2015, going on to captain the team to a 28-26 win over England.

Brennan, who was already 6’2″ and 121kg (19 stone) at the age of 14, came through the Toulouse underage set-up before securing a contract with the Top 14 outfit last year.

In 2015, he was part of the FFR’s U19 ‘Pôle France’ intake; a group of 23 of the most highly-rated young players in the country.
