PARIS (Reuters) - France number eight Louis Picamoles's Six Nations campaign is in doubt after he siffered a torn hamstring during their 23-21 win against visitors Italy on Saturday.

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.
