Elissalde to start French final

Toulouse flyhalf Jean-Baptiste Elissalde, initially a doubt for the French championship final this weekend, will start the match, coach Guy Noves said on Friday.
Elissalde has recovered sufficiently from a rib injury, picked up in the 31-13 semifinal win over Stade Francais, to enable him to play against Toulouse on Saturday.
Noves told the media: "We have decided to put him (Elissalde) in the starting XV".
