France make 2 change for final Six Nations game with Wales
By Ian Cameron
There are two changes to France's starting 15 as Fabien Galthie named his side to take on Wales at the Stade de France this Saturday in Paris in their final game of the 2023 Guinness Six Nations.
Uini Atonio returns at tighthead, while Romain Taofifénua starts at tighthead lock in place of the injured Paul Willemse. Atonio returns from a ban for a yellow card against Ireland which was upgraded to a red following a citing review.
He replaces Dorian Aldegheri who has fallen out of the 23 altogether.
France are coming off a thrilling 53-10 win over England in Round 4 in Twickenham, with Galthie's side handing the English a record home defeat and a record Guinness Six Nations defeat.
Les Bleus are still in with a chance of winning the tournament, although they'll need to beat Wales in Paris and hope Steve Borthwick's men can bag an unlikely win against Andy Farrell's high-flying Ireland - who are hot on the heels of a Grand Slam - in Dublin.
Team: T Ramos; D Penaud, G Fickou, J Danty, E Dumortier; R Ntamack, A Dupont (capt); C Baille, J Marchand, U Atonio, T Flament, R Taofifenua, F Cros, C Ollivon, G Alldritt.
Replacements: P Mauvaka, R Wardi, S Falatea, B Chalureau, S Macalou, M Lucu, Y Moefana, M Jaminet.

“upon leaving said establishment I tripped over a stool knocking some bottles into the air and as I fell I accidently dislodged a police officer’s teaser who was passing by on an unrelated matter there by landing on said taser which caused it to discharge 50,000 watts into me. Out of shock I shouted Ireland are going to win the world cup. Upon waking up I apologised for the distress caused by my Ireland comment. The matter is closed. If you wish to pursue this matter may I remind you what I told Wayne Barnes when he sent me off. I AM A BIG ASS MAN”. Or was it “I AM A BIG ASS, MAN” or was it “I AM A BIG ASSMAN”?
