France have announced their starting team and replacements for their trip to Dublin to face Ireland in Lansdowne Road on Saturday.
Head coach Phillipe Saint Andre has made only one change, with Alexandre Menini dropping out with an injury, with 24 year old Racing loosehead Eddy Ben Arous being promoted from the bench in his first international start on his third cap. Veteran Vincent Debaty takes his place on the bench.
Morgan Parra remains on the bench despite his star turn in replacing Kockott last week, while Saint Andre retains faith in full back Spedding despite the return from injury of Racing's Brice Dulin.
