Penaud and Cros ruled out of France test against the All Blacks

PARIS (AP) — France winger Damian Penaud and flanker Francois Cros have been ruled out of Saturday’s rugby test against New Zealand.

They won’t be replaced in coach Fabien Galthie’s group of 42 players for the autumn series, the French Rugby Federation said on Tuesday.

Penaud, France’s record try-scorer with 36, missed the 52-12 win over Japan on Saturday to illness.

Cros was replaced at halftime against Japan after a knock to the head.
