Injured Millo-Chluski to sit out Six Nations

Romain Millo-Chluski will miss the rest of the RBS Six Nations Championship with his Achilles tendon injury.

The Toulouse lock was named in France’s starting team for Saturday’s clash with England in Paris, but immediately had to withdraw after suffering his injury setback.

Millo-Chluski is set to be sidelined for between five to six weeks, so will not be available for Les Bleus’ remaining Six Nations games against Italy and Wales.

It is another blow for his club side Toulouse, who have also lost fellow France internationals Clement Poitrenaud (fractured leg) and Florian Fritz (fibula) over the past two weeks.
