PARIS (AP) — France has kept the same squad which lost to England last weekend for next week's Six Nations match against Italy.
Coach Marc Lievremont says on Tuesday that fullback Maxime Medard is fit after withdrawing just before the Twickenham match with a hamstring injury, and replaces Alexis Palisson, who stepped in as a backup against England.
Flyhalf Francois Trinh-Duc will also be available after tests revealed his knee injury against England isn't too serious.
Defending champion France plays Italy on March 12, then returns home to meet Wales.
