France add Bruno and Marty

5 February 2007, 11:10 am

Sebastien Bruno and David Marty have been drafted into the France squad for next weekend's RBS 6 Nations Championship match against Ireland.

Sale hooker Bruno and Perpignan centre Marty come in for the injured Dimitri Szarzewski (shoulder) and Florian Fritz (leg) respectively, in head coach Bernard Laporte's only two changes from the 22 that took on Italy on Saturday in the tournament's opening game.

Les Bleus won that match convincingly, easing to a 39-3 victory over the Azzurri at the Stadio Flaminio in Rome.

Laporte will name his starting XV for the Croke Park match on Tuesday.

Forwards: Raphael Ibanez (Wasps, capt), Sebastien Bruno (Sale), Olivier Milloud (Bourgoin), Pieter De Villiers, Sylvain Marconnet (both Stade Francais), Lionel Nallet, Pascal Pape (both Castres), Jerome Thion, Serge Betsen (both Biarritz), Julien Bonnaire (Bourgoin), Imanel Harinordoquy (Biarritz), Sebastien Chabal (Sale).

Backs: Pierre Mignoni (Clermont-Auvergne), Dimitri Yachvili (Biarritz), David Skrela, Lionel Beauxis (both Stade Francais), Yannick Jauzion (Toulouse), David Marty (Perpignan), Cedric Heymans (Toulouse), Christophe Dominici (Stade Francais), Vincent Clerc, Clement Poitrenaud (Toulouse).
