France have been forced to name a new-look centre pairing for their Six Nations clash with Wales after both Yoram Moefana and Nicolas Depoortere were ruled out by injury.
The Bordeaux Begles duo had impressed outside of clubmate Matthieu Jalibert in France’s opening win over Ireland, but will miss the trip to Cardiff. Moefana has suffered a minor knock to the knee, while Depoortere reportedly has a calf issue and Toulouse’s Kalvin Gourgues is also out of the encounter having featured off the bench last week.
