David Marty and Imanol Harinordoquy have handed France a boost by returning to full training following their respective injury problems.
Marty, the Perpignan centre, has been struggling for around a week with a calf problem that forced him to miss Les Bleus’ 34-7 win against Wales in a warm-up match in Cardiff last weekend.
Biarritz back-row forward Harinordoquy, meanwhile, has been nursing a thumb injury he picked up against the Welsh.
But both players were seen training with the rest of their France team-mates on Friday.
Marty and Harinordoquy are battling for places in France’s starting XV for the World Cup opener against Argentina next Friday, although both may have to be content with a place on the bench.
