France head coach Jacques Brunel has made one change to his team to play England.
François Trinh-Duc comes in at fly-half ahead of Lionel Beauxis, whom had started the last two matches.
France:
15 Hugo Bonneval
14 Benjamin Fall
13 Mathieu Bastareaud
12 Geoffrey Doumayrou
11 Rémy Grosso
10 François Trinh-Duc
9 Maxime Machenaud
8 Marco Tauleigne
7 Yacouba Camara
6 Wenceslas Lauret
5 Sébastien Vahaamahina
4 Paul Gabrillagues
3 Rabah Slimani
2 Guilhelm Guirado (c)
1 Jefferson Poirot
Replacements:
16 Adrien Pelissié, 17 Dany Priso, 18 Cedate Gomes Sa, 19 Romain Taofifenua, 20 Kélian Galletier, 21 Baptiste Couilloud, 22 Lionel Beauxis, 23 Gaël Fickou
The usual physicality of the forwards aside, the only threats I see are Basteraud with his new found handling and Grosso offloading out of the tackle something he loves and does quite well.
Would have preferred to play against Beauxis, especially if it is wet.
