Hooker problems for France

Saracens hooker Christopher Tolofua has been ruled out of France's opening Six Nations match against Ireland on Saturday with a back injury.

Tolofua, capped seven times, is the second back-up to captain Guilhem Guirado to withdraw from the squad after Camille Chat pulled out with a bout of flu.

That leaves coach Jacques Brunel with just rookie Adrien Pelissie as replacement for Guirado for Saturday's Stade de France showdown.
