France team v Ireland

France have made two changes to their side for Saturday’s RBS Six Nations match against defending champions Ireland in Paris, both changes are because of injuries.

Vincent Clerc of Toulouse and Brive’s Alexis Palisson come in on the wings following injuries to Aurelien Rougerie and Benjamin Fall against Scotland.

There is one change on the bench, prop Sylvain Marconnet takes over from Luc Ducalcon, who was also injured in the win at Murrayfield.
