Fofana's Six Nations farewell ruined
By Tom Webber
Wesley Fofana has been denied a Six Nations farewell in France’s match against Italy on Saturday due to injury.

Clermont Auvergne centre Fofana reportedly sustained an injury during training on Friday and has been replaced in the starting XV by Geoffrey Doumayrou.
The 31-year-old, who will retire from international rugby after this year’s World Cup, started Les Bleus’ opening 24-19 defeat against Wales but has not featured in the Six Nations since.
France will hope to round off a disappointing campaign with a win in Rome as they look to beat Scotland to fourth place, with Italy already consigned to the wooden spoon.

I really agree. Red cards are ruining too many contests. The world cup risks becoming card determined. Yes to clean out heights coming up. Yes to making the coaches and players work harder on how to enter/manage contact.
