France coaches Gaelle Mignot and David Ortiz have made four changes to their starting line-up for Saturday’s Guinness Women’s Six Nations 2024 Grand Slam decider against England in Bordeaux.

Second row Madoussou Fall and flanker Gaelle Hermet come into the pack while winger Marine Menager and centre Nassira Konde have been recalled to the backline following Les Bleues’ 40-0 defeat of Wales in Cardiff last Sunday.

It means the team that finishes the Championship shows only one change to the XV that opened it with a 38-17 win against Ireland in Le Mans. Joanna Grisez, who scored two tries at Cardiff Arms Park, is the only player in the line-up who did not start the defeat of Ireland; Kelly Arbey is the one who has dropped out.

      Munster coach Graham Rowntree gives an update on Springbok Jean Kleyn’s eye injury

      Munster coach Graham Rowntree gives an insightful update on World Cup-winning Springbok Jean Kleyn’s eye injury.

      The rest of the starting XV is unchanged from the first game: the same Bordeaux front row is back for the fifth match in a row, as is the second row of captain Manae Feleu and Fall.

      In the back row, Hermet is selected to start for the first time since the second round and lines up alongside Charlotte Escudero and Romane Menager. Pauline Bourdon-Sansus and Lina Queyroi are again paired in the half-backs. Marine Menager is back on the wing after being ruled out of the Wales match.

      The only surprises are on the bench with Elisa Riffonneau, who plays in England, returning for her 10th cap alongside Ambre Mwayembe. There is also renewed confidence in sevens players Chloe Jacquet and Anne-Cecile Ciofani, who is in line to make her second Test appearance.

      Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

      My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
