(Reuters) -Emmanuel Meafou is one of three new caps in the France side to face Wales in Sunday's Six Nations clash in Cardiff, with Fabien Galthie making eight changes to his team named on Friday.

Lock Meafou, 25, comes in for Posolo Tuilagi, out through illness, while Leo Barre makes his debut at fullback with Thomas Ramos moving to flyhalf for the first time with France in place of the injured Matthieu Jalibert.
