PARIS (Reuters - France coach Guy Noves has named forwards Bernard Le Roux and Loann Goujon in his team to face England in Paris on Saturday, making two changes to the side who were defeated by Scotland last weekend.

Noves has swapped at least five players for each match of the tournament but resisted the temptation to make wholesale changes for the final fixture, bringing in the back rowers at the expense of Yacouba Camara and Wenceslas Lauret, who drop to the bench.
