For the third match in a row, Laporte selected Yann Delaigue ahead of Frederic Michalak at flyhalf.

Delaigue will play alongside scrumhalf Dimitri Yachvili who kicked all France’s points in their 18-17 win over England.

Laporte also kept faith with Julien Bonnaire in the No.8 slot despite the return to the squad of Imanol Harinordoquy who will start the game among the replacements.
