Ntamack suspended for England clash with Jalibert likely to step up for France

Ntamack sent off in 43-0 defeat of Wales in Paris
Fly-half will be available again to face Ireland

The France fly-half Romain Ntamack has been suspended for the match against England on Saturday, forcing Les Bleus into a reshuffle, but he will be available for their fixture against Ireland later in the tournament.

Ntamack was sent off in the emphatic victory against Wales last Friday and has been handed a three-week suspension. In his absence, Bordeaux’s mercurial fly-half Matthieu Jalibert is the favourite to wear the No 10 jersey at Twickenham.
