Restored Magne driven by wounded pride

FRANCE flanker Olivier Magne has admitted his pride was hurt after being dropped for Les Bleus’ win over Wales.

However, he is eager to prove his worth when the French take on Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday as they take aim at the Grand Slam.

The Montferrand player was snubbed by coach Bernard Laporte, who left him on the bench for the 29-22 victory over Wales on March 6.
