There are several changes to the France team to face Wales.
In a surprise move, the giant that is Mathieu Bastareaud has dropped to the bench, while Morgan Parra and Brice Dulin are two of five changes.
Teddy Thomas drops out through injury for Bordeaux's Sofiane Guitoune, Romain Taofifenua replaces the suspended Pascal Pape, while Remi Lamerat comes into the team to partner Fofana while Bastareaud is named on the bench.
Uini Atonio, Bastareaud and Loann Goujon make up a big impactful bench, while France will be looking to the Clermont spine from No.8, the halfbacks and Fofana at inside centre to control the game in Paris.
