Bonnaire back for France

Bernard Laporte has made one change to France‘s starting line-up for their final RBS Six Nations Championship clash with Wales on Saturday.

Bourgoin back-rower Julien Bonnaire returns to the team in place of London Irish flanker Olivier Magne, who takes Bonnaire‘s place on the bench.

Bonnaire will team up with Thomas Lievremont and Yannick Nyanga in a powerful back row in the only change to the side that crushed England 31-6 in Paris last Sunday.

A victory for France at the Millennium Stadium would almost guarantee the RBS Six Nations title for Laporte‘s men – barring a massive points win by Ireland over England at Twickenham.

France team to face Wales at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday:

T Castaignede (Saracens); A Rougerie (Clermont Auvergne), F Fritz (Toulouse), D Traille (Biarritz), C Dominici (Stade Francais); F Michalak (Toulouse), D Yachvili (Biarritz); S Marconnet (Stade Francais), R Ibanez (London Wasps), P De Villiers (Stade Francais), F Pelous (Toulouse), J Thion (Biarritz), Y Nyanga (Toulouse), T Lievremont (Biarritz), J Bonnaire (Bourgoin)

Replacements: D Szarzewski (Stade Francais), O Milloud (Bourgoin), L Nallet (Castres), O Magne (London Irish), J-B Ellisalde (Toulouse), L Valbon (Brive), C Heymans (Toulouse)
