France's Sebastien Tillous-Borde
Paris - Arab Today

Toulon scrum-half Sebastien Tillous-Borde has recovered from a knee injury in time to get called up for France's Six Nations game against Wales, Les Bleus announced on Thursday.
Tillous-Borde, 29, comes in for Castres' Rory Kockott, who suffered a quadriceps injury in last Saturday's 18-11 loss to Ireland.
Kockott's selection was already up in the air as his performance at Lansdowne Road had been criticised by coach Philippe Saint-Andre.
"Sebastien is 100 percent fit. It was logical to call him up," Saint-Andre told AFP.
"I talked to Rory and he needs two or three weeks off at least. He really needs to rest."
Tillous-Borde started in all three of November's Test matches but was sidelined for the Scotland and Ireland clashes due to a bruised knee.
"If I play, it means I was deemed ready, I trained normally this week", said the Toulon scrum-half.
"Injuries can happen (...). I have tried to put a positive spin on this. I don't think I've lost too many points after the last two France games."
Bordeaux-Begles' fly-half Pierre Bernard, 25, was also called up to replace prop Nicolas Mas, who hasn't featured in any of France's 2015 Six Nations matches.
"Of course it was difficult for us to discard him, he's such an important player for us", Saint-Andre explained.
Wing Teddy Thomas is suffering from a sprained ankle and makes way for his Toulouse counterpart Gael Fickou.
Saint-Andre could be forced into a further change depending on the outcome of lock Pascal Pape's citing hearing later Thursday.
The 34-year-old faces a ban after kneeing Ireland's Jamie Heaslip in the back.
France, who beat Scotland 15-8 before surrendering to Ireland, host Wales at the Stade de France on February 28.
