Dusautoir Denies Unrest

France captain Thierry Dusautoir has rejected rumours that the squad have revolted against head coach Philippe Saint-André.

Reports in France this week suggested that the senior players had taken charge, similar to 2011 when France went on to make the final.

The veteran flanker dismissed the claims, insisting France were united ahead of a massive challenge against New Zealand.

"I don't understand what everyone is talking about," said Dusautoir.

"We prepare for this game as a team and all the boys, coaches and manager are working together.

"We are are going to continue to work together. It's a team ready to play New Zealand."
