France have made one change to their team to take on Scotland in Edinburgh with Jonathan Danty returning in place of the injured Gabin Villière.
Danty started France’s opening game of the Guinness Six Nations against Italy before missing the victory over Ireland in Round 2.
Having recovered from an ankle injury, he comes straight back into the starting line-up alongside Gaël Fickou in the centres.
Villière, one of France’s standout performers over the first two rounds, has been ruled out of the trip to BT Murrayfield with a fractured sinus, and his place is taken by Yoram Moefana, who moves out to the wing.
Moefana had made his first Championship start against Ireland at inside centre, but will now play on the wing after impressing the coaching staff in training.
Elsewhere it is the same side that saw off Ireland 30-24 at the Stade de France, with Antoine Dupont captaining the side as he continues his half-back pairing with Romain Ntamack.
Moefana will be joined in the back three by Damian Penaud and full-back Melvyn Jaminet while the pack is unchanged.
That means that Cyril Baille, Julien Marchand and Uini Atonio continue in the front row, with Paul Willemse and Cameron Woki packing down behind them.
The back row is made up of François Cros, Anthony Jelonch and Grégory Alldritt, the Guinness Six Nations Player of the Match in the win over Ireland.
The bench is also unchanged, with Fabien Galthié sticking to a 6-2 split between forwards and backs.
France are the only remaining unbeaten side in the Guinness Six Nations, but have lost each of their last two games in the Championship to Scotland.
They did however win on their last trip to BT Murrayfield, in the Autumn Nations Cup in 2020.
