And finally it is Toulouse for Toulouse at full-back: Thomas Ramos to the bench, Maxime Medard into the run-on side, with Romain Ntamack presumably taking the added responsibility with the tee.France have already lost one head coach in this World Cup cycle, and Jacques Brunel has failed to produce the anticipated uptick in results since replacing Guy Noves ahead of last year's Six Nations.The veteran coach, who spent five years in charge of Italy, has had a reign characterised by muddled selection decisions and a poor on-field product, with just four wins from the 15 games France have played since Brunel took over.With the World Cup fast approaching, France are likely to be reticent to move on from the 65-year-old at this late stage, but a loss to Italy today might just have Brunel planning his own Flight to Varennes.If Italy are to triumph today, their back row may be key.It is an area of real strength for Conor O'Shea's team.

We look back at how Wales achieved their 2019 Six Nations Grand Slam win Two George North tries after a French implosion handed Wales an opening day win in Paris Wales recovered from 16-0 down to win at the Stade de France Wales were far from perfect but won out in Italy in Round 2 - albeit without a bonus-point Wales put in one their best Six Nations performances to beat an in-form England in Cardiff during Round 3 Cory Hill's crucial late try set them on their way to a memorable win over England Wales' Grand Slam tilt was firmly on after a superb night at a bouncing Principality Stadium against England Far from convincing in Edinburgh, Wales did enough to set-up a Grand Slam decider Hadleigh Parkes' try inside the first two minutes gave Wales the perfect start Gareth Anscombe was flawless off the tee, kicking six penalties in the win Wales clinched the Grand Slam with a resounding victory over Ireland in Cardiff Yaya Toure quits Soccer Aid over 'inappropriate joke' Mercedes party on as Hamilton, Bottas aim Red Bull digs "Wales are now on a 14 game winning streak - another record - and are an inspiration for our aspiring sportsmen and women across the country.
