France have unleashed another excellent back as Fabien Galthie hands Toulouse midfileder Kalvin Gourgues a debut againt the Wallabies. The France U20 player from last season can play 12 or 13 and has slotted in at 15 too. This season, Toulouse have used him mostly at 12 and he has scored two tries in the Top 14 beating 26 defenders in his seven games.

Here he is, on his test debut, almost with his first touch in test rugby making a break and zipping a beautiful pass to Louis Bielle-Biarrey who goes in to score.
