Laporte may make shock changes

Unpredictable French coach Bernard Laporte may be about to spring a shock by asking hooker William Servat to pack down at number eight for the RBS Six Nations.

That is according to L’Equipe newspaper in reaction to France’s domination by Argentina and New Zealand in the Autmun Tests. It goes on to suggest that Imanol Harinordoquy will be removed from the starting line up and Sebastien Bruno will move into the hooking position.
