France's Antoine Dupont

WINGER Damian Penaud and lock Romain Taofifenua have tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss France's Six Nations clash against Wales on Friday.

Penaud is replaced in the starting line-up by Gabin Villiere, who has recovered from injury. Taofifenua was on the bench when France beat Scotland 11 says ago and two switches among the replacements see call-ups for Mohamed Haouas and Matthis Lebel.
