France wing out of tournament

SIX NATIONS UPDATE: France wing Vincent Rattez has announced he suffered a fracture of his fibula in the 35-22 victory over Italy on the weekend.

The injury will rule him out of the rest of the tournament.

“Fracture of the fibula, finished,” the 27-year-old Rattez said on Instagram.

Rattez started in place of Damian Penaud for France’s opening 24-17 victory over England.

Against Italy, Rattez was helped off in the 77th minute, coach Fabien Galthie later saying that the La Rochelle winger has sustained a “nasty sprain”.
