French five-eighth Francois Trinh-Duc will make his first start in this year's Six Nations after being named in the team to face England in Paris.

The Toulon player replaces Lionel Beauxis, who drops to the bench after disappointing against Scotland and Italy.

It is the only change by coach Jacques Brunel from the team who had beaten Italy 34-17 in the last round.
