To face Wales, the French XV should experience a major upheaval. After a defeat, a narrow victory and a draw, the Blues found Marcoussis this week to prepare for their 4th match of the Tournament, which will take place in Wales on Sunday.

Three players should celebrate their first selection: the powerful second row of Australian origin Emmanuel Meafou, the Parisian full-back Léo Barré and the center Nicolas Depoortère, who plays in Bordeaux. Among the other expected changes: Matthieu Jalibert being injured, it is Thomas Ramos who should take over the position of fly-half.
