The staff of the Blues maintains its confidence in its men. Despite the defeat suffered against the Irish, the Blues face Scotland with only one change in the starting XV: Mohamed Haouas replacing Uini Atonio, suspended after his yellow card received at Aviva Stadium. For the rest, we therefore find the classic hinge with captain Antoine Dupont associated with opener Romain Ntamack. Little in sight during the first two games, Yoram Moefana is confirmed in the center, alongside Gaël Fickou. Striker Thomas Ramos holds his place at the back. In the front eight, the third row Ollivon-Aldritt-Jelonch holds while Thibaud Flament and Paul Willemse follow in the second row.
The starting XV of France: 15. Ramos – 14. Penaud, 13. Fickou, 12. Moefana, 11. Dumortier – 10. Ntamack (o), 9. Dupont (m, cap) – 7. Ollivon, 8. Alldritt, 6. Jelonch – 5. Willemse, 4. Flament – 3. Haouas, 2. Marchand, 1. Baille.
Replacements: 16. Barlot, 17. Ward, 18. Falatea, 19. Taofifenua, 20. Cross, 21. Macalou, 22. Couilloud, 23. Jalibert.
