France stars unscathed

France head coach Marc Lievremont will have breathed a huge sigh of relief after all nine Les Bleus players involved in yesterday’s bruising Top 14 encounter between Toulouse and Clermont-Auvergne came through unscathed.

Almost the entire back division Lievremont is set to call upon for Friday’s RBS 6 Nations match against Wales was on show at the Stade Ernest-Wallon.
