Plisson to skipper France against Pumas

Thursday 16 Jun 2016

Stade Francais star Plisson, 24, takes charge in the absence of first-choice captain Guilhem Guirado who is playing for Toulon in the French Top 14 semifinals this weekend.

"He plays in a position where he must manage the game. He is also part of the future project (build-up to 2019 World Cup). He has a good head on his shoulders and he will be captain for the first Test," said Noves.
