Six Nations 2025: Players to watch including Tom Willis, Sam Prendergast, Dan Edwards & Tom Jordan

The Toulouse fly-half is no stranger to the Six Nations, having played in his first championship in 2019 as a 19-year-old.

The 25-year-old is hoping to make his first appearance in the competition for nearly two years after a nasty knee injury forced him to miss the 2023 World Cup and last year’s championship.

Ntamack was France’s starting fly-half when they won the Grand Slam in 2022, and it comes as no surprise their below-par campaign last year came with him absent.

Toulouse’s European and domestic double last season came as result of Ntamack’s return to the side as he ably supported the brilliance of half-back partner Antoine Dupont.

Thomas Ramos, the Toulouse full-back, started three of France’s Autumn Nations Series games at fly-half after a calf injury ruled out Ntamack.

His other main competitor for the starting shirt is Matthieu Jalibert, who was sent back to play for Bordeaux-Begles on Saturday, indicating a likely return for Ntamack on Friday against Wales.
