Morgan Parra
Morgan Parra has impressed so far in the championship but will be on the bench at Twickenham
Lievremont drops Morgan Parra and Damien Traille for Le Crunch

Marc Lievremont has made four changes to his side for Le Crunch against England on Saturday with Morgan Parra and Damien Traille both dropped.
Parra kicked five penalties as France edged past Ireland in their RBS 6 Nations clash in the Aviva Stadium, but it was deemed not enough by Lievremont, who has brought in Biarritz man Dimitri Yachvili to replace him.

And Toulouse stars Yannick Jauzion and Vincent Clerc come in for Damien Traille and Clement Poitrenaud respectively with Maxime Medard, who is a doubt with a thigh injury, moving to full back.

Meanwhile Sebastien Chabal has earned a recall at number eight with Julien Bonnaire missing out and Imanol Harinordoquy moving across to blindside flanker.

“We’ve decided to change things up a little in the squad and bring in some of the replacements,” said Lievremont, whose side were humiliated 34-10 on their last visit to Twickenham in 2009.

“We’ve gone with the backline which finished the game in Dublin.

“Dimitri has done well twice when he’s come on. He’s playing well at the moment so it made sense to reward him.

“Morgan is struggling a little but Dimitri is no novice.

"It’s good to change things around a bit and give those who deserve it a chance.”
