6 Nations: Round 2 France Team Notes
Guy Noves’s makes six changes to the side that beat Italy, with five of those being players promoted from the bench, plus Teddy Thomas who comes into the XV for Hugo Bonneval who reverts to the replacements.
Louis Picamoles’s injury has led to Yacouba Camara’s elevation from the bench and Loann Goujon’s inclusion amongst the replacements.
This is the first time that France have gone into a test match without any player who has at least 50 caps since they were defeated 10-40 by Australia in July Brisbane in 2008.
The half-backs combined caps (8) account for only 3% of the entire starting XV.
The average age of the walk-on team is 25.9 years; the average on the bench is 24.9
