France have named their side and make two changes for Sunday's Pool D decider with Ireland in the Rugby World Cup.
Philippe Saint-Andre's side must win the game to top the Pool, unless the game ends in a draw and France score a bonus point for tries scored. In that unlikely scenario, the French must hope that Ireland do not get the try bonus point today.
The side sees two changes from the one that defeated Canada last week in Milton Keynes. Louis Picamoles returns in the back row and winger Noa Nakaitaci return to the side in place of Bernard Le Roux who drops to the bench and Remy Grosso who misses out on the matchday 23.
Ireland name their team later today, with reports of Cian Healy and Devin Toner expected to start. Joe Schmidt's announcement will be made after 2pm
Whatever the result, both sides will return to Cardiff next weekend for their quarter finals where New Zealand and probably Argentina look set to face the two teams.
