Romain Ntamack and Gregory Alldritt will start for France in this weekend's potential Six Nations title decider at Ireland, head coach Fabien Galthie announced on Thursday.
Fly-half Ntamack, 25, makes his first appearance since the first-round win over Wales after missing the defeat to England and victory over Italy with a suspension.
No 8 Alldritt, 27, sat out two training sessions this week due to a groin injury but is included for Saturday's game in Dublin.
A victory for France at Lansdowne Road over top-of-the-table, unbeaten Ireland would open up the race for the Championship before the final round of matches.
