No changes for France

No changes for France

France coach Philippe Saint-Andre has named an unchanged squad to take on England in the Six Nations.

Saint-Andre has decided to keep faith with the same set of players that battled back to claim a 17-17 draw against Ireland yesterday afternoon.

That means that scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili has missed out on a recall despite recovering from a leg injury.

France squad to face England on Sunday:

Forwards: Jean-Baptiste Poux, Nicolas Mas, Vincent Debaty, David Attoub, Dimitri Szarzewski, William Servat, Pascal Pape, Yoann Maestri, Lionel Nallet, Thierry Dusautoir (capt), Julien Bonnaire, Imanol Harinordoquy, Louis Picamoles

Backs: Morgan Parra, Julien Dupuy, François Trinh-Duc, Lionel Beauxis, Wesley Fofana, Aurelien Rougerie, Maxime Mermoz, Vincent Clerc, Julien Malzieu, Clément Poitrenaud
