PARIS (Reuters) - Jules Plisson will start at flyhalf as France head coach Philippe Saint-Andre made two injury-forced changes to his team to face England in their Six Nations final game at Twickenham on Saturday.

Plisson, who will earn his sixth cap after Camille Lopez was ruled out with a knee injury, will pair up with scrumhalf Sebastien Tillous-Borde while prop Vincent Debaty will start in place of Eddy Ben Arous, out with an arm muscle injury.
