Wesley Fofana back for France

Wesley Fofana will return to France's starting XV as head coach Philippe Saint-Andre rings the changes for their second Pool D match against Romania.

Les Bleus made a fine start to their World Cup with a 32-10 win over Italy at Twickenham on Saturday, a match that Fofana missed due to a thigh injury sustained in a warm-up fixture against Scotland earlier this month.

However, the Clermont Auvergne centre returns for Wednesday's encounter against Romania at London's Olympic Stadium in one of 13 changes.

The only survivors from the Italy victory are Noa Nakaitaci and Louis Picamoles, while hooker Dimitri Szarzewski takes the captain's armband in the absence of Thierry Dusautoir.

Fly-half Frederic Michalak is among the replacements and needs just three points to break Thierry Lacroix's Rugby World Cup record for France.

France: Brice Dulin, Sofiance Guitoune, Gael Fickou, Wesley Fofana, Noa Nakaitaci, Remi Tales, Morgan Parra; Vincent Debaty, Dimitri Szarzewski, Uini Atonio, Bernard Le Roux, Alexandre Flanquart, Yannick Nyanga, Fulgence Ouedraogo, Louis Picamoles

Replacements: Benjamin Kayser, Eddy Ben Arous, Nicolas Mas, Yoann Maestri, Damien Chouly, Rory Kockott, Frederic Michalak, Mathieu Bastareaud
