Rugby Digest/FRANCE: France flanker Serge Betsen could miss his country's opening Six Nations matches against Scotland and England after he picked up a thigh injury in training.
The experienced forward will definitely miss the match against Scotland in Paris on February 5th and is doubtful for the clash against England at Twickenham the following Sunday.
The Biarritz blindside was in danger of missing the two matches through suspension after being cited by Wasps for a trip on Stuart Abbott in a European Cup match last weekend that left the England centre with a broken leg.
LEINSTER: Rugby fans in Dublin will be able to kick their way to an Six Nations game. Ulster Bank, part of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, sponsors of the tournament will be kicking off the "Kick for an RBS Six Nations Ticket" competition at the Irish Financial Services Centre today at 11 a.m.
All aspiring kickers are invited to test out their skills. Lions legends Keith Wood and Ieuan Evans will be at the IFSC encouraging fans to get involved.
Competitors who kick directly through the middle of the posts will have the chance to win a pair of tickets to Ireland's home games and possibly a trip to Edinburgh to watch Scotland play Ireland on Saturday, February 12th.
