France bring in Mermoz to cover injured Dumoulin
Dumoulin sustained a knee injury in a Racing 92 match this weekend. A statement from the French Rugby Federation (FFR) said Dumoulin "was suffering from a trauma to his left knee."
"In agreement with the Racing 92 doctor, he was looked after by the France medical team yesterday and today. The medical examinations carried out this morning didn't show anything serious but a period of rest is necessary."
Maxime Mermoz, who has 30 caps for France, will replace Dumoulin as France kicks off their Six Nations campaign on 6 February.
