Bastareaud out of Ireland clash due to head knock
RC Toulon's French centre Mathieu Bastareaud
Paris - Arab Today
Barrelling centre Mathieu Bastareaud is out of Saturday's Six Nations clash away to Ireland due to a head injury, France said on Monday.
The burly 28-year-old took a knock to the head while playing for Toulon against Lyon on Saturday.
He took a "neurological test" on Monday which "does not allow him to be available for the Six Nations match against Ireland" said the French Federation in a statement.
Bastareaud was called up by Guy Noves for the first time in January having not been in the international set up since the 2015 World Cup, when Philippe Saint-Andre was coach.
He wasn't used in either the defeat to England or the victory over Scotland, though.
Bastareaud has played 39 times, scoring three tries, for France since making his debut against Wales in the Six Nations in 2009.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
