France have dropped a number of players for "inappropriate behaviour" after Sunday's defeat by Scotland in Edinburgh. Teddy ThomasThe French Rugby Federation (FFR) did not specify, in a statement to announce the squad, which players had been omitted for disciplinary reasons. "Jacques decided to exclude from this list the players who went out after the defeat in Scotland," the FFR statement read. "Through this inappropriate behaviour they did not respect their status as international players and the duties that come with that." Events manager Jo McKinnell said the French players were in the bar on Sunday evening but said there were no incidents.
