The France head coach Marc Lièvremont will give the players who underperformed against England a second chance against Italy
  
  


France's squad will be an unchanged for their last Six Nations match against Italy on Saturday.

The head coach Marc Lièvremont has decided to give the players who underperformed in yesterday's 34–10 defeat to England at Twickenham another chance to prove themselves.

The only injury doubt is the hooker Benjamin Kayser, who is struggling with a neck problem. The Leicester front-row forward will undergo tests at France's training base at Marcoussis today.

"We thought this squad could win at Twickenham and we still think they can win in Rome," said Lièvremont.

France will name their starting XV for the Italy match on Wednesday.
