France coach Philippe Saint-André has made one change to the starting XV that started against Scotland for France’s RBS 6 Nations clash with Ireland on Saturday (kick-off 5pm).
Jonathan Sexton's Racing Metro team-mate Eddy Ben Arous comes into the front row in place of the injured Alexandre Menini, Vincent Debaty taking a place on the bench.
Ben Arous came on a half-time substitute during France's 15-8 win over Scotland last weekend. Debaty, meanwhile, has been highlighted as a threat by Ireland's Marty Moore.
Elsewhere, it is as you were, with Morgan Parra, who made an impact after coming on a substitute in the game against Scotland, having to settle for a place on the bench.
France: Scott Spedding; Yoann Huget, Mathieu Bastareaud, Wesley Fofana, Teddy Thomas; Camille Lopez, Rory Kockott; Eddy Ben Arous, Guilhem Guirado, Rabah Slimani; Pascal Pape, Yoann Maestri; Thierry Dusautoir, Bernard Le Roux, Damien Chouly.
Replacements: Benjamin Kayser, Uini Atonio, Vincent Debaty, Romain Taofifenua, Loann Goujon, Morgan Parra, Remi Tales, Remi Lamerat.
