Wales make seven changes for Six Nations finale against France

Wales head coach Warren Gatland has made seven changes to the starting line-up for Saturday's Six Nations finale against France in Cardiff.

Alun Wyn Jones returns to captain the side after being rested for last Sunday's victory over Italy while Dan Biggar replaces Gareth Anscombe at fly-half.

Liam Williams moves to the wing to accommodate Leigh Halfpenny's inclusion at full-back, with Scott Williams restored to the midfield alongside Hadleigh Parkes.

Scarlets duo Rob Evans and Ken Owens come into the front row while Josh Navidi is preferred at openside flanker to James Davies, who drops out of the match-day squad after making his Wales debut against Italy.

"There have been some tough selection calls but that is exactly what we want," said Wales head coach Warren Gatland.

"We want to be in a position where there are selections and decisions to be made and we have had to make some tough ones this weekend.

"We have picked a team and a squad we believe can deliver this weekend against France."

France have made three changes to the team that beat England with centre Mathieu Bastareaud selected as captain.

Wales: 15 Leigh Halfpenny, 14 George North, 13 Scott Williams, 12 Hadleigh Parkes, 11 Liam Williams, 10 Dan Biggar, 9 Gareth Davies; 1 Rob Evans, 2 Ken Owens, 3 Tomas Francis, 4 Cory Hill, 5 Alun Wyn Jones (c), 6 Justin Tipuric, 7 Josh Navidi, 8 Taulupe Faletau.

Replacements: 16 Elliot Dee, 17 Nicky Smith, 18 Samson Lee, 19 Bradley Davies, 20 Aaron Shingler, 21 Aled Davies, 22 Gareth Anscombe, 23 Steff Evans.
