JOSHUA BRENNAN, THE son of former Ireland international Trevor, has been included in the France U20 squad for their opening Six Nations ties against England and Italy.
France head coach Philippe Boher has selected a squad of 34 players for the two home fixtures next month, with their first game against England taking place on Saturday 1 February.
Second row Brennan comes into the squad having previously been involved in the French U18 side that featured in last year’s Six Nations Festival, captaining the team in their clash with Ireland.
His brother Daniel, who is a prop, has represented France at U17, U18 and U20 levels, while also enjoying a stint at his father’s former club Toulouse.
He’s currently with Montpellier after signing a three-year contract in 2018.
