Cam asked: What changes do you think we'll see to the matchday 23 heading into the France game? Will Magnus Bradbury be given a shot after his performance for Edinburgh at the weekend.

Key Highlights

  • It wouldn't be a surprise if Pierre Schoeman started. France haven't used their scrum all that much because they just want to get the ball out and play.
  • Italy had them in trouble at times, but Italy's scrum is the best in the tournament.
  • Schoeman to start, possibly. People are criticising Zander Fagerson and it's true he's been some way short of his brilliant best.
  • No way I'd drop him.
  • Hopefully this is the weekend he finds himself again. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementI'm a big fan of Max Williamson, but he wasn't himself in Cardiff.
