Guy Novès has chosen a squad of 25 players to represent Toulouse in the Final of France's Top 14 at Stade de France on Saturday. Neither Yannick Nyanga nor Jean-Baptiste Elissalde is in the squad.
Both players were injured in the semifinal when Yannick Jauzion took over from Elissalde at flyhalf. Jauzion has already said that he is happy to play flyhalf again.
In Elissalde's place Novès has chosen Vincent Courrent who, like Elissalde, can play both flyhalf and scrumhalf.
