The French Rugby Federation (FFR) and Top 14 organizers have decided to exclude players from selection for the July internationals in 2025 and 2026, defying World Rugby regulations.
The decision aligns with an agreement to prioritize player health and club competitiveness.
This move likely means a weaker French squad for international tours during these periods.
World Rugby and New Zealand Rugby have yet to comment on this contentious decision.
