France Named An Unchanged Starting Line-up

 

France coach Fabien Galthie has named an unchanged starting team for Saturday’s Test against the Springboks in Marseille, opting to stick with the same 15 players that started in their one-point victory over Australia last weekend.

Antoine Dupont will again wear the captain’s armband for France in a Test that is scheduled to start at 22h00 (SA time) and will be broadcast live on SuperSport.

The only changes to the French match-23 from their narrow victory over the Wallabies are on the bench, where the uncapped duo of Bastien Chalureau and Reda Wardi come in for Killian Geraci and Dany Priso.

France: 15 Thomas Ramos; 14 Damian Penaud, 13 Gael Fickou, 12 Jonathan Danty, 11 Yoram Moefana; 10 Romain Ntamack, 9 Antoine Dupont (captain); 8 Gregory Alldritt, 7 Charles Ollivon, 6 Anthony Jelonch; 5 Thibaud Flament, 4 Cameron Woki; 3 Uini Atonio, 2 Julien Marchand, 1 Cyril Baille.
