France's Haouas replaces banned Atonio against Scotland
Tight-head prop Mohamed Haouas replaces suspended Uini Atonio in holders France's team to face Scotland in the Six Nations this weekend, head coach Fabien Galthie said on Friday.
La Rochelle's Atonio, 32, was handed a three-week ban for a high tackle during February 11's loss at Ireland.
Montpellier's 28-year-old Haouas will make his 16th Test appearance on Sunday. He received a red card against Scotland in 2020.
Galthie opted against handing Sipili Falatea just his second start. The Bordeaux-Begles front-rower was used off the bench at Lansdowne Road and in their tournament-opening win over Italy.
Les Bleus welcome Scotland, who are unbeaten in this season's Championship after wins over England and Wales, to the Stade de France, fewer than seven months out from hosting the Rugby World Cup.
Team (15-1)
Thomas Ramos; Damian Penaud, Gael Fickou, Yoram Moefana, Ethan Dumortier; Romain Ntamack, Antoine Dupont (capt); Gregory Alldritt, Charles Ollivon, Anthony Jelonch; Paul Willemse, Thibaud Flament; Mohamed Haouas, Julien Marchand, Cyril Baille
Replacements: Gaetan Barlot, Reda Wardi, Sipili Falatea, Romain Taofifenua, Francois Cros, Sekou Macalou, Baptiste Couilloud, Matthieu Jalibert
Coach: Fabien Galthie (FRA)
