Philipe Saint-Andre and France have suffered a major injury blow for their remaining Six Nations games against Scotland and Ireland.

Wesley Fofana, who has started their first 3 games at inside centre, is likely to be out for the rest of the tournament with a broken rib which he sustained against Wales on Friday.

Clermont say that the injury should keep him out of action for 3-4 weeks.

This, coupled with the news that Morgan Parra should also miss the rest of the Six Nations, is some good news for Ireland's hopes of winning the championship.
