France visit Murrayfield on Sunday??having suffered their first defeat of the competition last time out, losing 19-10 to Wales.

Defeat at Murrayfield would end any chance of France regaining the trophy they last lifted in 2010 after completing the Grand Slam.

And Noves has made six changes ahead of this weekend's meeting, with Montpellier fly-half Trinh-Duc handed a spot in the starting XV ahead of Jules Plisson, who drops to the bench.
