I am glad for the chance to see Yachvili and Dusatoir play, but very sorry to miss out on seeing Trinh-Duc.

Although this article doesn’t say so, I understand that Cedric Heymans is the only player who will start in the same position against Australia as he did in the second test vs New Zealand.

Yachvilli and Beauxis haven’t played together before at 9 & 10? Really? I’m surprised.

Beauxis is relatively new to the French side whereas Yachvili’s test aspirations have been firmly in check for the past two years with Elisalde, Parra, Tillous-Borde and now Dupuy being favoured. When on form he’s a great player.
