French prop out of Six Nations

Bordeaux - Bordeaux-Begles' France international prop Jefferson Poirot has been ruled out for three months with a leg injury and will miss the Six Nations, his club manager Raphael Ibanez said Wednesday.

Poirot, capped eight times, tore a muscle in his right calf in a warm-up ahead of Friday's Top 14 clash against Lyon.

The 24-year-old was on the bench for the Lyon game and was expected to make his comeback after damaging his right shoulder in France's match against Samoa on November 12.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
