Picamoles limped off after less than 20 minutes and the French Rugby Federation (FFR) said on Sunday that he would be “out for the next France games”, without elaborating.

“He must rest for a few weeks,” the FFR statement added.

Picamoles will be replaced in the squad by Loann Goujon, with France playing Ireland at home next Saturday.
