France's XV de France is preparing to face Italy in Lille on Sunday, February 22nd, for the third round of the Six Nations Championship. Coach Fabien Galthié is set to announce the team lineup on Friday, February 20th, with potential changes expected in the second row and on the bench. The team has secured bonus-point victories against Ireland and Wales. Matthieu Jalibert has been performing well at fly-half in Romain Ntamack's absence, with his play, alongside Dupont and Ramos, being praised. Italy's scrum is noted as a significant strength, and Emmanuel Meafou, who suffered a concussion, has passed his protocol. Yoram Moefana is out due to forfait, with Gailleton and Brau-Boirie expected to start at center. The stadium roof in Lille will be closed for the match.
