    The French have announced a provisional 32 man squad, quite a different approach to Kidney who will be announcing a extended squad before whittling it down.

    Big names to miss out are Chabal, Poitrenaud and Jauzion. Chabal is no great loss to the squad, a show pony and not much else. Very surprised to see Poitrenaud not in the 32, one of the best attacking player in the NH. It is only the provisional squad, but there are not many chances left to change Lievermont's mind left.

    3 players with long term injuries have been included to give them a chance to regain fitness, including Rougerie who I thought would be ruled out completely after that horrific injury. For his sake I hope he makes it back, its never nice to see players miss out on the WC in such circumstances.

    Provisional France squad for the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand:

    Backs: M Parra (Clermont Auvergne), D Yachvili (Biarritz), F Trinh-Duc (Montpellier), D Skrela (Toulouse), F Estebanez (Brive), D Marty (Perpignan), M Mermoz (Perpignan), A Rougerie (Clermont Auvergne), D Traille (Biarritz), V Clerc (Toulouse), C Heymans (Toulouse), Y Huget (Bayonne), M Medard (Toulouse), A Palisson (Brive).

    Forwards: F Barcella (Biarritz); T Domingo (Clermont Auvergne), L Ducalcon (Castres), N Mas (Perpignan), S Marconnet (Stade Francais), J B Poux (Toulouse), W Servat (Toulouse), D Szarzewski (Stade Francais), L Nallet (Racing Metro), J Pierre (Clermont Auvergne), R Millo-Chluski (Toulouse), P Pape (Stade Francais), J Bonnaire (Clermont Auvergne), T Dusautoir (Toulouse, capt), I Harinordoquy(Biarritz), R Lakafia (Biarritz), F Ouedraogo (Montpellier), L Picamoles (Toulouse).

    EDIT: Didn't see GerM had already started a thread. Great minds think alike... :) Could you lock this one mods?
