France lock Bernard Le Roux has been ruled out of Saturday's Six Nations match against England.

After the visit to England this weekend, Fabien Galthie's side are due to host Wales on March 20.

The rearranged match is set to be played on March 26, pending approval from Scottish and Premiership clubs.
