French team for ireland announced this afternoon

although it should look like this :

Traille / heymans - Médard, Marty, Mermoz, Palisson - Trinh-Duc, Yachvili- Bonnaire, Picamoles/lakafia, Dusautoir - Nallet, Pierre / millo-chluski - Mas, Szarzewski, Marconnet

7 players being injured, the team almost picks itself ! the only surprise might come on the 2nd row (who's partnerring Nallet) or the full back (ML tends to pick Traille on regular basis) - Yachvilli seems to have the edge over Parra since 6N but no dount both will be tried (if not this weekend, in the next game).
looking forward to see mermoz back at least!

Yip, it should be a good test. Hopefully both teams will come out unscathed and with a 100% complement to pick from.

French are going for a strong side. I hope we do as well. This is the game I'm most looking forward to.
