Flyhalf Matthieu Jalibert starts as one of two changes by head coach Fabien Galthie for France’s Six Nations Test against England on Saturday.
Jalibert replaces the suspended Romain Ntamack in the run-on XV from last week’s tournament-opening win over Wales. Bordeaux-Begles teammate Damian Penaud comes in on the wing for Theo Attissogbe for the Twickenham clash.

Ntamack misses the trip to London after being banned for making a high tackle on Wales’ Ben Thomas with Jalibert stepping in to partner Antoine Dupont at half-back.
Jalibert, 26, will play his first Test since leaving the set-up in November for personal reasons.
