Toulon's relatively inexperienced back-rower Charles Ollivon was named as France captain Wednesday as new head coach Fabien Galthie unveiled a revamped 42-man Six Nations squad featuring a remarkable 19 uncapped players. Ollivon, 26, who has just 11 international caps, will lead the side for the tournament as Galthie has chosen not to nominate a permanent skipper as was the case in 2016 with Guilhem Guirado, who has since retired from Test rugby. "It's an honour to be captain of the France team," said Ollivon. "It's a somewhat special moment, quite moving," he added. "I can't wait to start the adventure." World under-20 champions Cameron Woki, Louis Carbonel, Jean-Baptiste Gros, Killian Geraci and Arthur Vincent are among the uncapped faces in the new-look set-up that sees veterans such as Maxime Medard, Yoann Huget, Wenceslas Lauret and Rabah Slimani all miss out. Galthie's first match in charge, in a tenure which could include the 2023 World Cup on home soil, will see England travelling to Paris on February 2.
