Fabien Galthie has rung the changes for France as they make eight changes to the side that drew 13-13 with Italy two weeks ago. Captain Gregory Alldritt returns from injury whilst fly-half Mathieu Jalibert misses out due to injury. Full-back Leo Barre, centre Nicolas Depoortere and lock Emmanuel Meafou make their debuts. Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Nolann Le Garrec, Thibaud Flament and Julien Marchand also come into the starting XV. Jonathan Danty is suspended after his red card against Italy.
France: Barre; Penaud, Fickou, Depoortere, Bielle-Biarrey; Ramos, Le Garrec; Baille, Marchand, Atonio, Flament, Meafou, Cros, Ollivon, Alldritt (capt).
Replacements: Mauvaka, S Taofifenua, Colombe, R Taofifenua, Roumat, Boudehent, Lucu, Moefana.
Wales head coach Warren Gatland has dropped his centre pairing of Nick Tompkins and George North for a new pairing of Joe Roberts and Owen Watkin. Captain Dafydd Jenkins switches from lock to the back-row with Will Rowlands coming into the second-row to partner Adam Beard. Wales have been forced into a late change at hooker; Ryan Elias was down to start ahead of Elliot Dee, but Elias has a tight hamstring. So Dee starts on his 50th appearance and uncapped Evan Lloyd comes onto the bench.
Wales: C Winnett; J Adams, J Roberts, O Watkin, R Dyer; S Costelow, T Williams; G Thomas, E Dee, K Assiratti, W Rowlands, A Beard, D Jenkins (capt), T Reffell, A Wainwright.
Replacements: E Lloyd, C Domachowski, D Lewis, A Mann, M Martin, G Davies, I Lloyd, M Grady.
