France v Wales squad announced
23 February 2009, 3:11 pm
By
Seven Blues players are in Warren Gatlands Wales squad to face France on friday evening.
Shane Williams, the IRB 2008 World Player of the Year, returns to Warren Gatland's starting line-up for the third leg of Wales' RBS 6 Nations title defence against France in Paris on Friday night (KO 9.00pm local time, 8.00pm GMT).
Wing wizard Williams is the only change to the side who started in the 23-15 victory over England at the Millennium Stadium nine days ago. He replaces Scarlets flier Mark Jones, who misses out on the match-day 22, while there is a place for fit-again Gavin Henson on the bench at Stade de France at the expense of his Ospreys team-mate Andrew Bishop.
"France are one of the top sides in the Championship and they are always going to be tough opposition - especially at home - and this is a must win game for them if they are to keep their title hopes alive.
"We also know how tough it will be for them with a short six-day turnaround for many of their players who have featured in domestic rugby this weekend - we had a similar experience ourselves in between the Scotland and England games and found it hard going - so that is something we must try to take advantage of."
Wales will be seeking to equal the record of both England and France in going nine Six Nations championship matches without defeat when they head to Paris this weekend.
Wales: Lee Byrne; Leigh Halfpenny, Tom Shanklin, Jamie Roberts, Shane Williams; Stephen Jones, Michael Phillips; Gethin Jenkins, Matthew Rees, Adam Jones, Ian Gough, Alun-Wyn Jones, Ryan Jones (captain), Martyn Williams, Andy Powell.
Replacements: Huw Bennett, John Yapp, Luke Charteris, Dafydd Jones, Dwayne Peel, James Hook, Gavin Henson
