Parra back for France

6:06 am on 1 November 2013

Halfback Morgan Parra has been included in the France squad to face the All Blacks next week after his ban for punching an opponent in a Top 14 game was reduced to two weeks.

The ban was cut by half and Parra is free to return to action.

Parra was suspended for four weeks earlier this month for punching a Bordeaux player who was being held by two of the France international's Clermont team mates.

Parra's inclusion means Toulon's Frederic Michalak has been left out and only features on a list of six reserve players.
