France make six changes in decidedly callow XV to face England

France have made six changes to their team to face England in Sunday's Autumn Nations Cup final following last weekend's group stage win over Italy in Paris. Two of them were expected due to limits on game time in the agreement with the Top 14 clubs.
Pierre-Louis Barassi, Sébastien Bézy abd Guillaume Ducat are named on the bench.
It is a massively understrength side, with the majority of the 23 with less than 10 caps apiece.
