PARIS (Reuters) - Gael Fickou will be shifted from centre to the wing to make up for the absence of the injured Teddy Thomas as France look to win the Six Nations for the first time in 10 years when they take on Ireland on Saturday.

Fickou is replaced by Arthur Vincent at centre in an otherwise unchanged team after Les Bleus beat Wales 38-21 in a friendly international last Saturday.
