French lock injured

French lock Olivier Brouzet has been ruled out of Saturday's match against Fiji in Brisbane.

Brouzet - who has been nursing a shoulder injury - could have played, but coach Bernard Laporte was not prepared to risk him.

"Brouzet is good," said Laporte. "But we think we will give him one week more to get stronger. We are being prudent."

Prop Sylvain Marconnet has also been ruled out because of a thigh injury but centre Xavier Garbajosa had recovered from a leg problem.
