Lievremont names three new French caps for Italy clash

FRANCE head coach Marc Lievremont’s revolving door policy continued yesterday when he named three uncapped players in his starting XV for Sunday’s RBS Six Nations Championship clash with Italy.

Fabien Barcella, Ibrahim Diarra and Yann David are the latest players to benefit ahead of this weekend’s game with the Azzurri.

Auch prop Barcella, Montauban flanker Diarra and Bourgoin centre David, 19, will make their debuts from the off at the Stade de France, with Lievremont making a total of nine changes to the side which lost 24-13 to England last time out.
