Saint-Andre: Replacements lining up

A shortlist of eight has been drawn up from 66 candidates to replace Philippe Saint-Andre as France coach, the French rugby federation announced.


The federation, without identifying any of the finalists, will name Saint-Andre's successor by the end of May after the eight remaining candidates are interviewed by the federation's selection panel.


The names most bandied about as Saint-Andre's successor are those of current Bordeaux-Begles coach Raphael Ibanez, former Montpellier manager Fabien Galthie and veteran Toulouse coach Guy Noves, who turned down the job in 2011.
