Léa Champon France’s only Dream Team pick

England have six players in the side, New Zealand five and Canada three.

Eleven Test starts in 2026

Champon is named at 7, alongside New Zealand’s Kaipo Olsen-Baker, crowned player of the year on Saturday, and England’s Maddie Feaunati. She started all five games of the 2026 Six Nations and all six autumn Tests, including the tour of New Zealand.

Bourdon Sansus wins Try of the Year

The fan vote picked Pauline Bourdon Sansus’ try against England in Bordeaux on May 17, in the Six Nations decider. The move began with a turnover by Ambre Mwayembe in France’s 22, then went through Léa Murie and Champon. France lost the game 43-28. A Champon try against Scotland was also on the shortlist.
