Matthieu Jalibert will start at out-half for France in Saturday's Six Nations round two trip to England, with head coach Fabien Galthie resisting the urge to move Thomas Ramps or Antoine Dupont out of position.
PARIS : France coach Fabien Galthie on Thursday named the following team to face England in the Six Nations at Twickenham on Saturday:
France made their Six Nations opener look like a canter as they destroyed Wales on Friday but lost Romain Ntamack through a red card, which ruled the flyhalf out of next weekend's clash against England. Fabien Galthie's side rolled over the visitors in a 43-0 drubbing to add to their three victories in last year's autumn series with Antoine Dupont playing chief tormentor in a scintillating first half. "The team is different when Dupont is here. He is the best player in the world and brings energy to all the players with his talent," Gregory Alldritt said. Dupont was back in the Six Nations after skipping last year's championship to prepare for the Olympics before winning the Rugby Sevens gold, and he returned with a bang. The scrumhalf delivered three assists before being replaced shortly after the interval. Although Dupont had to have his calf strapped, Galthie was reassuring about his condition ahead of next weekend's clash against England in Twickenham. Galthie praised France's discipline, with only three penalties conceded although Ntamack's red card for a shoulder-to-head tackle was a woeful low for the flyhalf. Ntamack was back with France after missing the Six Nations last year and the World Cup through injuries. "There is no question it's a yellow card, whether it's a red is debatable because he doesn't fully engage into the tackle," Galthie argued, despite some damning TV footage.

France's dramatic 33-31 victory over England in the final game of this season's Six Nations Championship went some way to dispelling last year's World Cup disappointment and ease the pressure on coach Fabien Galthie.
