Bastareaud out of Ireland clash

Bastareaud sustained a head knock during Toulon's Top 14 clash with Lyon on Saturday and has been ruled out of France's clash with Ireland this weekend.

"Following a concussion Mathieu Bastareaud underwent a neurological test which does not allow him to be available for Ireland v France," the French Rugby Federation tweeted.

He was orginally called into the squad as injury replacement for Henry Chavancy and has not appeared in the Six Nations this year.
