The reigning Six Nations champions will be missing many senior players for the tour, such as Gregory Alldritt.

Coach Fabien Galthie has called up 37 players for the three matches against New Zealand on July 5, 12 and 19.

However, the list will likely grow by up to five additional players following Saturday's Top 14 final between Toulouse and Bordeaux-Begles.

Fickouskippered the side for the friendly victory over England last weekend, and, with 94 caps, the Racing 92 centre is the most experienced active French player.
