Jinxed France run into injury trouble

France hit more Six Nations trouble yesterday when two more top players pulled out of a special training camp through injury and illness and another five failed to turn up on time, after missing a flight from Paris.

Lock Olivier Brouzet, (stomach problem) and fly half Christophe Lamaison (thigh injury), were both forced out of the four-day camp at La Testede-Buch, organised as special preparation for their clash with England at Twickenham on April 7.

Another six injured players quit the camp on Monday. France, who have already been beaten by Wales and Ireland, have added Biarritz No.8 Thomas Lievremont to their Twickenham party.
