Steve Tandy despatches Ben Thomas from the starting line-up, with Joe Hawkins returning to the 12 shirt. In the forwards Rhys Carre is back at prop, joined by Tomas Francis after his stint of non-selection due to playing in France.
Injuries and withdrawals for France bring a new centre partnership of Emilien Gailleton and Fabien Brau‑Boirie, replacing Moefana and Depoortere from last week’s Ireland win.
