Rugby - Smith called into France squad amid eligibility doubts

France have called up Samoa-born David Smith to the squad for their next Six Nations game against Wales amid doubts about the Castres wing's eligibility to represent the country. Smith played for New Zealand’s Sevens team in 2008 and, according to World Rugby regulations, he is not allowed to play for another national team. French sports daily L’Equipe reported on Sunday that the French federation (FFR) would announce a replacement for Smith on Monday.
