France get double boost for Dublin duel
Today at 06:00 AM
Romain Ntamack and Gregory Alldritt will start for France against Ireland in Saturday's potential Six Nations title decider at the Aviva Stadium.
Flyhalf Ntamack makes his first appearance since the first-round win over Wales after missing the defeat to England and victory over Italy with a suspension.
ALSO: France midfield the centre of attention
No 8 Alldritt sat out two training sessions this week due to a groin injury but is included for this week's game in Dublin.
A victory for France in the Irish capital over top-of-the-table, unbeaten Ireland would open up the race for the championship title before the final round of matches.
