Head coach Fabien Galthie has made just one personnel change to the side which defeated Ireland in Paris 12 days ago.

Stade Francais’ Jonathan Danty comes in at inside centre which means Yoram Moefana – who played at 12 against the Irish – moves out to the left wing. The injured Gabin Villiere drops out of the side.

The replacements are unchanged.
