Jalibert and Penaud Return for France vs England

Matthieu Jalibert will start at fly-half for France against England in the Six Nations, replacing the suspended Romain Ntamack who received a red card for a shoulder-to-head tackle against Wales. Despite initially leaving the France squad last November over selection disputes, Jalibert has been welcomed back by head coach Fabien Galthié, who emphasized there is no power struggle with the player. Galthié has made two changes to the squad, with Damian Penaud returning from a toe injury to start on the wing. The disciplinary committee reduced Ntamack's suspension to three games due to his exemplary record and acceptance of foul play. The changes reflect France's strategy to maintain form and readiness ahead of the crucial encounter at Twickenham.
