France forced into a change for Murrayfield test
- 1651
France head coach Fabien Galthie has made just one change to his starting lineup to face Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday.
Winger Gabin Villiere has been ruled out of the match against Scotland with centre Yoram Moefana moving onto the left-wing in his place.
Jonathan Danty returns to the starting lineup to fill the #12 jersey in Moefana's place and joins Gael Fickou in the XV. Joining Moefana in the back three is Melvyn Jaminet, who retains the no.15 jumper, with Damian Penaud on the right-wing.
Antoine Dupont captains the side at scrumhalf with Romain Ntamack at flyhalf.
Francois Cros and Anthony Jelonch start on the side of the scrum with Gregory Alldritt at no.8. Cameron Woki joins Paul Willemse in the pack with Cyril Baille and Uini Atonio either side of Julien Marchand.
Despite reports this week, Galthie has retained a 6-2 split on the bench in favour of the forwards.
Peato Mauvaka, Jean-Baptiste Gros, Demba Bamba, Romain Taofifenua, Thibaud Flament, and Dylan Cretin all provide cover in the pack. Maxime Lucu and Thomas Ramos provide backline options off the bench.
