(Reuters) - France coach Fabien Galthie on Thursday named a formidable team for Saturday's friendly with Wales in Paris, with the starting side unchanged from their Six Nations opener against England earlier this year.

France produced a stunning performance in that match in February to win 24-17 and Galthie said that he opted against major changes as the team return to action following the COVID-19 shutdown.
