France head coach Fabien Galthie has named Romain Ntamack at flyhalf for France's final Six Nations match against Scotland on Friday at the Stade de France.

France need to beat Scotland by 21 points or more and score four tries to secure the Six Nations title.

With Paul Willemse suspended, Galthie has named an entirely new second row with Bernard Le Roux returning from injury and he is partnered by Swan Rebbadj. Anthony Jelonch and Dylan Cretin traded places with the former now starting and the latter taking a spot on the bench. The front row remains unchanged with Cyril Baille, Julien Marchand and Mahomed Haouas all starting.

There is a change in the halfback with Mathieu Jalibert ruled out of the clash through injury. He is replaced by Romain Ntamack who links up with clubmate Antoine Dupont.

Arthur Vincent also returns to the starting line up with Gael Fickou slotting in on the wing replacing Teddy Thomas, who drops to the bench. Damian Penaud and Brice Dulin complete the backline.

The France team to face Scotland.
