Paris – France coach Philippe Saint-Andre has selected an unchanged squad for the Six Nations match against Scotland on Saturday.

The only concern for Saint-Andre is lock Yoann Maestri, who is nursing a sore shoulder and will sit out training to recover.

France snapped its three-match losing run by scraping a 13-13

draw at Ireland on Saturday to end the possibility of a first tournament whitewash since 1957.

Victory against Scotland at Stade de France will at least ensure France does not finish last in what has been a disappointing campaign following impressive wins against Australia and Argentina late last year.

France opened the tournament with a 23-18 loss at Italy, followed by a 16-6 home defeat to Wales and then a battling 23-13

loss at England. – Sapa-AP
