They have not played a single minute since the start of the tournament. And they will not be involved against England on Saturday evening either. Nolann Le Garrec and Paul Boudehent are absent for the meeting with England in the final match of the Six Nations with France.

Our colleagues at Sud-Ouest explain that the two Stade Rochelais players were injured while preparing for the match in Scotland. Boudehent has a patellar tendon problem, while for Le Garrec it is understood to be an ankle sprain.

The lock/back-rower and the scrum-half are expected to be out for a few weeks.
