Do French teams not have academies or regional feeder clubs they can loan a scrum-half from? I dont agree its poor planning at all, what club think that 4 front line scrum halves won't be enough? It's unfortunate.

"Forced out of retirement" makes it sound as if Toulouse is ordering him to play at gunpoint;-)
Questionable planning by Toulouse: like it or not a World Cup is on. Like it or not the best players at any given position are there or may be required to go there due to injuries. Wasn't there any decent, albeit not test-level, scrum-half on the market to make sure you have a guy who will be in France throughout the whole World Cup period?
Novès sounds ridiculous if not criminal: if you think playing Elissalde may endanger his health, you do not play him - period. If you play him you are taking responsibility for it. Or is ti another round of clubs vs federation fight?

Actually Elissalde's last professional game to date was in November 2010 with the French Barbarians against Tonga when he was already Toulouse's backs coach. he started as fly half and scored three points.
