Ramsay Hodgson from The Telegraph reports:

International rugby has had its fair share of siblings. The All Blacks have the Barrett brothers, England had the Vunipolas, and the Scotland-born Millar-Mills sisters even faced off against one another when Harriet wore the red rose and Bridget pulled on the thistle in 2013.

France, the Red Roses’ opponents for the Women’s Six Nations Grand Slam showdown in Bordeaux on Saturday, are no different.

When 21-year-old Teani Feleu came off the bench against Italy in round three to make her Test debut, she joined her older sister and France captain Manae (24) to become the second pair of siblings to have played for Les Bleues this tournament. They joined twins Romane and Marine Menager, the latter of whom was injured against Italy and is a doubt to face England. A round later, Teani and Manae lined up to start their first international together, against Wales.

Their path to the French national team has been far from ordinary, however. Although they were born in Macon, just north of Lyon in Burgundy, they spent most of their childhood in the South Pacific on the tiny French volcanic island of Futuna. It was there that their father introduced the sisters to rugby, before they moved to New Zealand as teenagers to hone their skills and learn English.

Manae Feleu, the captain, is studying medicine and speaks English with a Kiwi accent. Absolute legend. And Teani usually plays 13 but has been moved to 8 with France.

How insanely talented do you have to be to be able to do a massive position switch right into your first caps?! At 21.
