France have named their squad for Sunday ( Wales name the squad tomorrow)
France: Ramos; Attissogbe, Gailleton, Brau-Boirie, Bielle-Biarrey; Jalibert, Dupont (capt); Gros, Marchand, Aldegheri, Ollivon, Guillard, Cros, Jegou, Jelonch.

Replacements: Lamothe, Neti, Montagne, Flament, Meafou, Nouchi, Serin, Nene.

I've only just noticed that Penaud isn't in the French squad. Not that it'll make any difference.

If I hear anyone say 'the boys are chomping at the bit to make amends' it will probably kill me.

BBC sport article says Cracknell likely to come into the back row instead of McLeod, with Hawkins replacing Thomas at 12. Starting props to be Carre and Francis.
