Pelous set to match Sella record

Fabien Pelous will make his return to international rugby tomorrow after being named in France’s team for the World Cup warm-up match against England at Twickenham.

The Toulouse lock, who has not played for Les Bleus since November because of an ankle injury, will this weekend equal Philippe Sella’s national record of 111 caps when he partners Jerome Thion in the second row.
