Les Bleus turn to Toulouse star Medard

Toulouse full-back Maxime Medard will win his first international cap after being named in the France team to face Argentina in Marseille on Saturday.

The 21-year-old is rewarded for his scintillating club form with Top 14 leaders Toulouse, which has seven other players named in the starting XV.

“We’re picking players who are performing and Toulouse are ahead of other teams,” said France’s backs coach Emile Ntamack of head coach Marc Lievremont’s selection.
