Chavancy fills Fofana void in France squad
Uncapped Racing 92 centre Henry Chavancy has been called up to the France squad for its Six Nations opener against England as a replacement for Wesley Fofana.
Les Bleus suffered a major blow when Fofana was ruled out of the tournament after rupturing his Achilles in Clermont Auvergne's European Champions Cup 48-26 defeat of Exeter Chiefs.
Guy Noves has wasted no time in adding Chavancy to his squad, a fortnight before the trip to Twickenham to take on the the defending champion.
Chavancy scored Racing's only try in a 22-10 Champions Cup loss at Munster on Monday (AEDT) and is in contention to earn his first cap against last year's Grand Slam-winner on 5 February.
Mohamed Boughanmi, Arthur Iturria, Fabien Sanconnie and Geoffrey Palis will also be hoping to make their international bows against Eddie Jones's men after they were named in a 32-man Six Nations squad by Noves earlier this week.
