Probably THE feel-good story at the World Cup, France have taken a risk by naming Marsh in their squad.
On March 5, he had surgery to remove a cancerous tumour in his testicles and after returning to full health, tore a calf muscle on his return to action.
But Bernard Laporte knows exactly what the Auckland-born centre can do - and opponents write him off at their peril.
On his day, Marsh is one of the top four or five outside centres in European - if not world - rugby.
