Position: Flanker

Test caps: 58

Test Debut: 1997 v Italy as a replacement in Grenoble. France 32 Italy 40

Strengths: Betsen is one of the most fearsome defenders in the game, and a dab hand at turning the ball over. Rarrely not at the top of the tackle lists.

Weaknesses: Age has possibly taken the edge off his ball-stealing skills, rendering them just normal, and it has certainly left him injury-prone

Likely headline(s): France Serge past Ireland
