France have added heft to their second row by recalling Emmanuel Meafou and Thibaud Flament for Saturday's Guinness Six Nations clash with England in Paris.

Head coach Fabien Galthie has turned to his trusted all-Toulouse lock partnership by pairing the duo together for the ninth time, promoting them from the bench roles they performed in the 50-40 defeat by Scotland in round four.
