France received a boost on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's World Cup quarter-final against England when captain Thierry Dusautoir and centre Aurelien Rougeries returned to training. Back-row forward Dusautoir, sidelined on Monday and Tuesday with an injury to his left shoulder suffered in the shock 19-14 defeat by Tong last weekend, trained with the forwards and took part in lineout and scrum practice. Rougerie, who injured his right shoulder against the Pacific Islanders, also missed training on Monday and Tuesday but had a run out Wednesday but was only involved in non-contact work with his fellow backs. Both Dusautoir and Rougeries were named in the France starting team to play England announced by coach Marc Lievremont on Tuesday. England, due to unveil their team on Thursday, have beaten France in the semi-finals of the past two World Cups.
