France include Michalak as Scotland banking on Blair

FREDERIC MICHALAK has been named in France’s team to play Scotland in Sunday’s RBS 6 Nations clash at Murrayfield.

The Toulouse fly-half had been struggling with a niggling groin injury but has been included in Bernard Laporte’s starting line-up.

That means uncapped Bourgoin fly-half Benjamin Boyer, who had been tipped to take over the number 10 shirt if Michalak had been ruled out, has had to settle for a place on the bench.
