Morgan Parra out of France tour

Morgan Parra has been ruled out of France's tour of New Zealand with a thigh injury.

The Clermont Auvergne scrum-half, who suffered the blow at the weekend, will therefore take no part in the tour, which gets underway next month.

"That is stopping him being at 100%, notably in his place kicking," a France spokesman said in a statement.

"Following consultation with the Clermont medical staff and those of the French team, he must pull out of June's tournament in New Zealand."

Jean-Marc Doussain is expected to be called up as a replacement.
