Sebastien Vahaamahina: Looking for second France cap
Philippe Saint-Andre has made two changes to his France squad as they bid for a first Six Nations win of 2013 against Ireland in Dublin next month. Perpignan lock Sebastien Vahaamahina could add to his solitary cap earned from the replacements bench in November's Test win over Australia after he was named in place of Jocelino Suta. The other change sees Benjamin Fall replaced by Toulouse wing Maxime Medard, who has already made 31 appearances for his country. "We have made these two changes in order to prepare our final two matches on the basis of our match against the English," Saint-Andre said. "Collectively, we functioned better at Twickenham and we have to capitalise on that." France have suffered defeats to Italy, Wales and England and could finish with the wooden spoon for the first time since 1957. France: Debaty, Domingo, Kayser, Szarzewski, Ducalcon, Mas, Maestri, Samson, Vahaamahina, Claassen, Dusautoir (cpt), Nyanga, Picamoles; Machenaud, Parra, Michalak, Trinh-Duc, Bastareaud, Clerc, Fofana, Fritz, Huget, Medard.
