France Names Starting Lineup for Six Nations Clash Against Ireland

Fly-half Romain Ntamack returns from suspension, while No. 8 Gregory Alldritt is included despite recent injury concerns.

  • France head coach Fabien Galthie announced the starting lineup for Saturday's Six Nations match against Ireland in Dublin, a game that could determine the tournament champion.
  • Romain Ntamack, 25, returns at fly-half after missing two matches due to suspension, bringing experience and defensive stability to the backline.
  • Gregory Alldritt, 27, is included at No. 8 despite missing two training sessions this week with a groin injury.
  • Yoram Moefana and Pierre-Louis Barassi retain their positions as midfield centers, with their defensive consistency under scrutiny following mixed performances earlier in the tournament.
  • A victory for France would keep their championship hopes alive and disrupt Ireland's unbeaten run at the top of the table ahead of the final round of matches.
