(Reuters) -France coach Fabien Galthie has named an unchanged team for their final Six Nations Championship fixture against England in Lyon on Saturday, which means a second run at flyhalf for Thomas Ramos with options thin in the number 10 jersey.

Ramos usually plays fullback but injuries to Matthieu Jalibert and Romain Ntamack have thrust him into the number 10 role, where he acquitted himself fairly well in the 45-24 win over Wales last weekend despite some poor moments on defence.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
