JEAN-JACQUES CRENCA

Born: 03.04.69
Height: 5ft 11in
Weight: 16st 1lb
Position: Prop
Club: Agen
Caps: 27
Points: 10

Despite his advancing years, Crenca is another player France coach Bernard Laporte picked for the first time on his form, rather than reputation, when 'Les Bleus' faced South Africa in the autumn of 2001.

Although Crenca did not have that much experience at international level, he is a veteran of the French league, which boasts some of the toughest props around and he has gone on to win 27 caps in two years.

Crenca stands at 5ft 11 and if selected forms part of a very compact front row which has tremendous driving power.
