Unbeaten France make one change to their team to face Scotland
By Liam Heagney
Fabien Galthie has made one change to his France team to take on Scotland this Saturday at Murrayfield following the round two Guinness Six Nations win at home to Ireland in Paris on February 12.
Lef wing Gabin Villiere, one of the stars of the Six Nations tournament so far with his try-scoring exploits, has dropped out of the France selection due to injury and his No11 jersey will be filled by Yoram Moefana, who switches over from midfield where the fit-again Jonathan Danty has been recalled to inside centre.
The French, who are the only team with two wins from two so far, have named the same bench that they selected for the victory against Ireland.

It is if he thinks he’s got hold of the ball and there is at least one other player between him and the ball carrier, which is why he has to reach around and over their heads. Not a deliberate action for me.
Go to commentsI understand, but England 30 years ago were a set piece focused kick heavy team not big on using backs.
Same as now.
South African sides from any period will have a big bunch of forwards smashing it up and a first five booting everything in their own half.
NZ until recently rarely if ever scrummed for penalties; the scrum is to attack from, broken play, not structured is what we’re after.
Same as now.
These are ways of playing very ingrained into the culture.
If you were in an English club team and were off to Fiji for a game against a club team you’d never heard of and had no footage of, how would you prepare?
For a forward dominated grind or would you assume they will throw the ball about because they are Fijian?
A Fiji way. An English way.
An Australian way depends on who you’ve scraped together that hasn’t been picked off by AFL or NRL, and that changes from generation to generation a lot of the time.
Actually, maybe that is their style. In fact, yes they have a style.
Nevermind. Fuggit I’ve typed it all out now.
