Philippe St Andre names France Six Nations Squad

New France rugby team coach Philippe St Andre has named his squad for the 2012 Six Nations competition. St Andre has gone with a thirty man squad, as opposed to the 36 players selected by counterpart Andy Robinson for the Scotland team.

Late last year France defied two pool defeats to fight on to the 2011 Rugby World Cup final, which they lost to New Zealand. Of that squad, Lionel Nallet, Damien Traille and Fabrice Estebanez have been unable to break into the first ever squad named by…

New to the squad are Lee Jones, Stuart Hogg, Duncan Weir, Robert Harley, Fraser McKenzie and Steven Shingler.

According to Robinson the squad…

England’s new coach, albeit on a temporary basis, Stuart Lancaster, has outlined his manifesto for the reform of the national side, noting that players who lack a particular “character and talent” will be shown the door. The 42-year-old added that the focus will be on young players, when the time comes to select England’s Six Nations squad, in 2012..

Lancaster, who is joined in the England camp by fellow coaches, Graham Rowntree and Andy Farrell, said that, by the end of the Six Nations, England will hopefully be on “very strong foundations”, in preparation for the arrival…
