FRANCE HAVE CALLED up Vincent Debaty and Jocelino Suta to replace injured pair Alexandre Menini and Alexandre Flanquart ahead of their trip to Ireland this coming weekend.
Toulon prop Menini, 31, has an injured foot and is replaced by fellow veteran Debaty, 33, of Clermont.
Lock Flanquart, 25, hurt his neck while playing for Stade Francais against Oyonnax at the end of January and is still not at 100%, said France in a statement released Sunday.
He didn’t feature in Saturday’s 15-8 win over Scotland at the Stade de France and has now be replaced by Toulon second row Suta, 32.
France travel to Dublin on Saturday to tackle reigning Six Nations champions Ireland, who began with a 26-3 win in Italy.
