Fabien Galthié's XV of France will take up a new challenge this Saturday (3:15 p.m.), by trying to win at Murrayfield in Scotland, for the first time in the Six Nations Tournament since 2014. The staff of the Blues has just announced this Thursday the composition of this XV of France for this decisive match in the race for the Grand Slam, after two first victories at home against Italy and Ireland.
Only one change should be noted compared to the XV which beat Ireland (30-24) in Saint-Denis.
Winger Gabin Villière forfeits, he is as expected replaced by Yoram Moefana, who slips from the position of center to that of winger.
It is Jonathan Danty, recovered from his ankle injury, who is again associated with the center of Gaël Fickou.
