Yachvili likely replacement for injured Galthie

FRANCE captain Fabien Galthie has been forced to pull out of the Six Nations clash with Ireland after dislocating a shoulder.

The 33-year-old scrum-half sustained the injury during the record 38-3 thrashing of Scotland on Sunday.

"He is suffering from a dislocated shoulder and will be out for three weeks," said Galthie's club doctor Alexis Savigny.
