Fabien Galthie picks his France team to play Wales in round four of the 2022 Guinness Six Nations.
Gabin Villière replaces Damian Penaud who has tested positive for Covid, same as Romain Taofifenua on the bench – meaning they switch to a 5-3 split. Big blow as both Penaud and Taofifenua were involved in every French Test in 2021.
However, they can call upon Dupont who is fit.
