With Fabien Galthie sticking with a formidable bench consisting of seven forwards and only one back, Romain Ntamack returns from suspension at fly half for France's match against Ireland.
After being sent off against Wales on the opening weekend, Ntamack was suspended for France's previous two games. However, he immediately returns, playing in the halves with Toulouse colleague Antoine Dupont.
Thomas Ramos moves to full-back as a result of his selection, while Leo Barre, who played well against Italy in Rome, is completely cut from the team, leaving scrum half Maxime Lucu as the only back on the bench for a crucial Six Nations match.
In today's crucial Guinness Six Nations match against championship rivals France, Ireland interim manager Simon Easterby is optimistic that versatile back Jamie Osborne will excel in a new environment.
Left-footed Leinster player Osborne has been moved from full-back to right flank in Mack Hansen's absence due to a minor quad injury.
The 23-year-old has never worn the number 14 shirt before, although he has played on the left wing for his province, most notably in victories against La Rochelle and Bath in the Investec Champions Cup.
Good morning. Are you prepared? Ireland and France, the two teams vying for the Six Nations crown, will likely face off in a tournament final. Will the aspirations of the Green Grand Slam survive? Or are the star-studded guests able to cause a problem? Dublin kickoff is at 2:15 PM GMT.
