Willemse makes French Six Nations squad

Montpellier's Paul Willemse was called up to France's Six Nations squad as one of 5 uncapped players.

Much controversy has been made about the call up, as Willemse, born in South Africa, qualifies for France after a 3 year residency rule. 


Willemse, a former Springbok u20 international, has played in France since 2016 with Grenoble and more recently Montpellier.

The second row has been a consistent performer in the Top 14 and is one of 5 uncapped players in the French 31 man squad.
