Marcoussis - France have made five changes, one positional, to the starting XV that beat Ireland for Saturday's Six Nations match against England at the Stade de France.
Morgan Parra, 19, and Franois Trinh-Duc, 21, will start the
game at scrumhalf and flyhalf. Both have two caps.
Coach Marc Lievremont also gives a start to 24-year-old
lock Romain Millo-Chluski and 22-year-old number eight Louis
Picamoles.
Millo-Chluski won his only cap in a 30-30 draw with South
Africa in June 2005. Picamoles made his first appearance as a
playing replacement against Ireland on February 9.
His selection means that Julien Bonnaire is moved to
flanker with Thierry Dusautoir. Fulgence Ouedraogo, a starter
against Scotland and Ireland, is relegated to the bench.
Team: 15-Cedric Heymans, 14-Aurelien Rougerie, 13-David
Marty, 12-Damien Traille, 11-Vincent Clerc, 10-Francois
Trinh-Duc, 9-Morgan Parra, 8-Louis Picamoles, 7-Thierry
Dusautoir, 6-Julien Bonnaire, 5-Romain Millo-Chluski, 4-Lionel
Nallet (cap), 3-Nicolas Mas, 2-Dimitri Szarzewski, 1-Lionel
