With the Grand Slam to be played for at the Stade Chaban-Delmas, co-coaches Gaëlle MIgnot and David Ortiz have made five changes to the starting XV that cruised to victory against Wales in round four.
One of those changes is positional, with Romane Menager moving from blindside flanker to number eight, with Charlotte Escudero taking the number six jersey following her outing at second row in Cardiff. Gaëlle Hermet is named at openside in place Émeline Gros.
Madoussou Fall is brought back in to take her place in the second row alongside captain Manaé Feleu.
At outside centre, Nassira Konde comes in for Chloé Jacquet, while Marine Menager replaces Anne-Cécile Ceofani on the left wing (with the latter moving to the bench).
