France centre Gabrielle Vernier has been ruled out of the remainder of the Women’s Six Nations with a shoulder injury.<\/b><\/p>\n
Vernier was forced off in the 48th minute of France’s 38-7 victory against Wales in Cardiff on Saturday as she won her 60th cap.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old will miss Saturday’s game with Ireland, a trip to Scotland and a potential Grand Slam decider against England on 17 May.<\/p>\n
France head coach Francois Ratier has called up 18-year-old Aelig Tregouet to replace Vernier in the squad.<\/p>\n
Toulouse’s Tregouet has played sevens for France but has not been capped at senior level in the 15-a-side game by her country.<\/p>\n
Vernier’s injury is a blow to France, who have already lost key centre Joanna Grisez to a knee ligament injury.<\/p>\n
France won their opening two matches against Italy and Wales to sit second in the table behind world champions England.<\/p>\n
They welcome Ireland, who they beat in the World Cup quarter-finals, to Clermont on Saturday in their third match of this year’s tournament.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
