France flanker Francois Cros returns from injury for latest Rugby World Cup warm-up

Back-row Francois Cros will play his first match since suffering a groin injury when France take on Fiji in their penultimate Rugby World Cup warm-up.

There were initially some concerns over the flanker’s World Cup chances after the Toulouse man sustained the leg injury in training.

Cros missed the double-header with Scotland but will make his return against the Pacific Islanders where he will start alongside Dylan Cretin and captain Gregory Alldritt in a strong loose trio.
