The young 2nd line from Perpignan and the 3rd line from La Rochelle should be the only changes on Sunday against Italy in Villeneuve-d'Ascq. During the Blues' training in Essonne, Posolo Tuilagi had put on a starting chasuble.

The only other change among the starters, the withdrawal of captain Grégory Alldritt should benefit Paul Boudehent. François Cros would slide into the center. Fabien Galthié will reveal the composition of the XV of France this Friday at 11 a.m.
