France call up: Jean Marc Doussain
France have called up Toulouse's Jean Marc Doussain to their training squad to cover for injured scrum-half Morgan Parra ahead of the November Tests.
21-year-old Doussain, who won his only cap for les Bleus in the World Cup Final against New Zealand, joined the squad on the outskirts of Paris on Friday.
43-cap Parra has been rested for three days after sustaining a thigh injury in Clermont's win over Agen in the Top 14 on Thursday.

can't decide if he's playing well, or luke burgess has had a dip in form, but he's been the main starter for his club this season.
still think machenaud gets the blue jersey, but we'll see later tonight!
agree with you melkdave - attitude is going to be important as always - but i can't see past the fact they're a largely experimental "youth" team, shorn of their leader dusautoir, and missing other old heads like servat, nallet, bonnaire, hari, yach, rougerie, medard etc etc.
still, i hope i'm wrong :-)

Have to say i was a little surprised he wasnt in the squad to start with .PSA is certinally covering the bases atm,and i think France could win all their matches this aurtum series .If they turn up and play.That casual attidude they seem to exhibit now and again ,is their biggest problem atm imo.
