Jonathan Danty returns to the France side for Saturday’s Six Nations showdown with Scotland at BT Murrayfield.
In the only personnel change from the team that defeated Ireland in Paris last time out, the Stade Francais centre takes the place of Gabin Villiere, who has been ruled out with a fractured sinus.
Yoram Moefana, who started at inside centre against Ireland, will move into Villiere’s position on the wing, with Danty taking over from Moefana in the number 12 jersey.
Danty started France’s victory over Italy on the first weekend of the tournament but missed the triumph over Ireland with an ankle injury. He comes straight back into the starting line-up alongside Gael Fickou in the centres.
France are the only side still in with a chance of winning the Grand Slam but to keep their hopes alive, they will have to win at Murrayfield for the first time since 2014.
