France name side for England clash
By Ben Spratt
Francois Trinh-Duc will start at fly-half against England as France make just one change to their side for Saturday's Six Nations clash following victory last time out against Italy.
Head coach Jacques Brunel had shuffled the pack after his side began their campaign with consecutive defeats, and his decision paid dividends as Mathieu Bastareaud - returning from suspension - starred in a 34-17 defeat of Italy.
Brunel has responded by largely showing faith in the players involved in that win, with only experienced fly-half Lionel Beauxis dropping out of the starting XV.
Toulon's Trinh-Duc, on the bench against Italy, is the man entrusted with taking on England, who are reeling after Scotland ended their Grand Slam bid at Murrayfield.
France XV: Hugo Bonneval, Benjamin Fall, Mathieu Bastareaud, Geoffrey Doumayrou, Remy Grosso, Francois Trinh-Duc, Maxime Machenaud; Jefferson Poirot, Guilhem Guirado (captain), Rabah Slimani, Paul Gabrillagues, Sebastien Vahaamahina, Wenceslas Lauret, Yacouba Camara, Marco Tauleigne.
Substitutes: Adrien Pelissie, Dany Priso, Cedate Gomes Sa, Romain Taofifenua, Kelian Galletier, Baptiste Couilloud, Lionel Beauxis, Gael Fickou.

Credit to Borthwick and staff for changing the fortunes of England. Wigglesworth, Harrison, Strawbridge and El-Abd all deserve credit.

Hi. Please be wise, do not make the same mistake I had made in the past, I was a victim of bitcoin scam, I saw a glamorous review showering praises and marketing an investment firm, I reached out to them on what their contracts are, and I invested $55,000, which I was promised to get my first 15% profit in weeks, when it's time to get my profits, I got to know the company was bogus, they kept asking me to invest more and I ran out of patience then requested to have my money back, they refused to answer nor refund my funds, not until a friend of mine introduced me to a recovery company, so I reached out and after tabling my complaints, they were swift to action and within 2/³ hours I got back my funds with the due profit. I couldn't contain the joy in me. I urge you guys to reach out to INTELLIGENCE CYBER WIZARD ASSET RECOVERY SERVICE on their support contact details below.
