Rugby-Uncapped Chavany replaces injured Fofana in France squad

PARIS, Jan 22 (Reuters) - France coach Guy Noves called up the uncapped Henry Chavancy into his Six Nations squad on Sunday after centre Wesley Fofana was ruled out with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Racing Metro's Chavancy, 28, is one of five uncapped players in the group ahead of a much-anticipated opener against England at Twickenham on Feb. 4. Fofana, one of France's key players, sustained the injury in Clermont's 48-26 Champions Cup win against Exeter on Saturday. (Reporting by Julien Pretot; Editing by Ian Chadband)
