RugbyU: France Summon Ollivon For November Tests

PARIS, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 26th Oct, 2016 ) - France coach Guy Noves called up Toulon flanker Charles Ollivon to replace the injured Bernard Le Roux in his 32-man squad announced Wednesday for next month's internationals.
Les Bleus play Samoa on November 12, followed by Australia on November 19 and the All Blacks a week later. The 23-year-old twice capped Ollivon's inclusion for next week's training camp at French rugby headquarters at Marcoussis was the only surprise in Noves' shortlist.
He had been an intended participant in a September training camp only to miss that with concussion. The only non-France based squad member is Louis Picamoles, who plays in the English Premiership as No.8 for Northampton.
France have won just three of seven internationals since Noves took over and finished a disappointing fifth in the Six Nations last season.
