France announce team to face Ireland on Saturday

France have named their starting XV for the Six Nations match against Ireland on Saturday evening.

They have made just one change from the side that started against Scotland in their opening game last weekend - Ben Arous replaces injured Alexandre Menini.

France won that game 15-8.
