France name 31 man squad
- 2115
France have named their 31-man Rugby World Cup squad after Saturday’s win over England.
Thierry Dusautoir has been included despite missing France’s first two warm-up matches through injury.
The major omission is fly-half Francois Trinh-Duc, who started against England at Twickenham but misses out with Philippe Saint-André going with Frédéric Michalak and Rémi Talès.
The other four players who haven’t made the final are Loann Goujon, Rémi Lamerat, Sébastian Vahaamahina and Xavier Chiocci.
France produced one of their best performances for some time against England before Saint-André made his final decision on the squad.
