NO-HEADLINE
Philippe Saint-Andree and Philippe Benetton have been recalled to a much changed French squad to play Italy in Grenoble on Saturday. Saint-Andre, a former captain, missed all of France's successful Five Nations' campaign with a groin injury, while Benetton was absent from the last three games because of a broken jaw. The present captain, Abdel Benazzi, is taking a rest.
