(Reuters) - France manager Phillipe Saint-Andre has made four changes to his side for the final match of the Six Nations against title-chasing Ireland at the Stade de France on Saturday, including a return for forward Louis Picamoles.

Toulouse's Picamoles was dropped for the narrow victory over Scotland last week after being disrespectful to referee Alain Rolland, who showed him a yellow card during France's defeat by Wales in the previous round of matches.
