Props Atonio, Kolingar join up with France for Ireland clash

France coach Fabien Galthie on Tuesday added prop forwards Uini Atonio and Hassane Kolingar to his squad for next weekend's Six Nations match against Ireland.

Loosehead Kolingar, who played twice during the Autumn Nations Cup, comes in for the injured Jean-Baptiste Gros, a second-half replacement for Cyril Baille during France's 50-10 opening day win over Italy in Rome.

La Rochelle tighthead Atonio replaces Racing's uncapped Georges-Henri Colombe who was left out of Saturday's matchday 23. 

Atonio, who weighs in at a massive 145 kilos, has won 34 caps, most recently in the Autumn Nations Cup final against England in December when he came on a second-half replacement. 

His last start came against Wales in the 24-19 defeat in Paris two years ago.
