Virimi Vakatawa suffers Six Nations injury scare

The 28-year-old’s try-scoring effort against Ireland last October was central to securing France the win that earned them second place in the delayed finish to the 2020 championship, their highest placing since finishing second in 2011.

Vakatawa, who has 27 caps and was a Nations Cup try-scorer against Scotland in his last Test outing, was included in Fabien Galthie’s 37-strong squad announced for the 2021 Six Nations on January 11.
