Louis Picamoles wears 8 for France as their autumn series starts in Toulouse against Samoa.

The Saints powerhouse heads into the fixture in fine form, having scooped three straight home man of the match awards and also being nominated for the Aviva Premiership Player of the Month.

And the Frenchman could well line up against a trio of team mates from Franklin's Gardens - Ace Tuala and the Pisis in the running to play for Samoa at Stadium Municipal.
