Heading into the last weekend of game for this year’s RBS Six Nations, France have unsurprisingly named Louis Picamoles amongst the starting lineup as they host Wales at the Stade-de-France on Saturday.
The number eight lines up against Saints teammate George North in this final round match following France’s 40-18 victory over Italy last weekend in which the Saints number eight scored one of his side’s four tries.
The game kicks off at 2.45pm on Saturday and is being shown live on ITV.
