FRANCE have made just one change for the second match of their Five Nations Championship campaign against Scotland at Murrayfield on February 3rd. The French, who claimed a last gasp 15-12 victory over England at the Parc de Princes last Saturday, have brought Alain Penaud in at centre.

Penaud replaces Richard Dourthe, suspended for a month by the French rugby federation after video evidence showed he stamped on the head of England number eight Ben Clarke and will miss the trip to Scotland and the home game with Ireland on February 17th.

Brive player Penaud has not appeared at centre for France since 1992 but won the last of his 21 caps at out half against the All Blacks last November.
