International career

[edit]

In November 2017, Ramos was selected for the French Barbarian team which played and beat the Māori All Blacks 19–15.

Ramos received his first call-up to the French squad for the 2019 Six Nations.[1] He made his debut off the bench against England on 10 February.[2] He was a part of the French squad that won the Grand Slam during the 2022 Six Nations. Although France finished second and failed to retain their title in the 2023 Six Nations, Ramos finished the tournament as top scorer. He was selected to be in the 34-man squad for France as they hosted the 2023 Rugby World Cup.[3] They would advance past the Pool stage, however they exited the tournament in the quarterfinals after losing to eventual winners South Africa. He was featured in the French squad for the 2024 Six Nations, and for the second year in a row, France finished second only behind Ireland. He also was top scorer in the tournament for the second consecutive year.

Ramos is of Portuguese descent through his paternal grand-father.[4]
