Double boost for France

SQUAD UPDATE: Star wing Damian Penaud and lock Romain Taofifenua return after Covid-19 infections as Grand Slam chasing France prepare for their Six Nations finale against England in Paris this weekend.

The French rugby federation confirmed on Monday that both players would be present in the group having missed last Friday’s 13-9 win over Wales in Cardiff.

Bordeaux-Begles centre Yoram Moefana, 21, has been ruled out with a knee injury along with uncapped Clermont centre Tani Vili, 21, called into the French group.

France, the only unbeaten team in the tournament, kept their bid for a first Six Nations Grand Slam since 2010 on track after edging Wales.

Ireland, second behind France, still have a chance of being crowned champions, as they host Scotland in Dublin.
