Bobbie Goulding has made changes to his France line up for the visit of England

FRANCE coach Bobbie Goulding has brought in two new faces and made two other changes for the visit of England to Avignon.

Goulding has responded to his side’s 38-18 defeat to England Knights by switching Melbourne Storm’s Dane Chisholm to scrum-half in place of Maxime Greseque, with Cyril Stacul taking over at full-back.

The other changes see the introduction of centre Mathias Pala, with Sebastien Raguin dropping to the bench, while Frederic Vaccari takes Stacul’s place on the right wing.

“I decided to make some changes from last week and especially down the right side, which did not perform to the level expected for an international,” said Goulding.

“Mathias Pala is an enthusiastic player. Cyril Stacul excels at full-back and Frederic Vaccari has the chance to prove he is one of the best wingers in France.”
