Late change for France - Couzinet out, Boyet in

David Couzinet, seen here in action against the Wallabies in the first Test, has been ruled out of the second Test in Brisbane on Saturday with a calf strain.

The French team have also been disrupted by a late injury with forward reserve David Couzinet being ruled out of Saturday’s Test against the Wallabies in Brisbane with a “a stretch of his left calf”.

This follows the Qantas Wallabies lock Nathan Sharpe being ruled out last night with a groin strain.

Couzinet has been replaced on the bench by flyhalf Benjamin Boyet, who was dropped from the 22 after the Test in Sydney last weekend. It is unkown whether Boyet will play at lock if called into action.
