Old Olavian, Aaron Grandidier-Nkanang, continues to make headlines on the international stage after earning his first senior cap for France against Australia in Brisbane on Saturday.
Aaron marked a dream debut with two tries, helping France overturn a 21–12 half-time deficit to secure an impressive 42–26 victory over the Wallabies.
The Olympic gold medallist, who began his rugby journey at St. Olave's before progressing through the French professional system, was one of France's standout performers, touching down once in each half as Les Bleus scored 30 unanswered points after the interval.
His remarkable introduction to Test rugby has attracted widespread praise and represents another significant milestone in a rapidly rising career.
