Back row forward Axelle Berthoumieu misses the semi-final after being banned for nine matches for biting, while co-captain and lock Manae Feleu is also suspended following a dangerous tackle in the win over Ireland.

Teani Feleu, the younger sister of Manae, and Hina Ikahehegi both come into the pack, with the influential Charlotte Escudero moving from number eight to blindside flanker.

Carla Arbez starts at fly-half in place of Lina Queyroi, who has failed to recover from concussion.

Captain Marine Menager moves from outside centre to left wing, with Nassira Konde coming into the XV.

Wing Joanna Grisez had to withdraw from the starting XV on Friday and was replaced by Kelly Arbey, with Boulard filling the vacant seat on the bench.

Team: Bourgeois; Arbey, Konde, Vernier, M Menager (capt); Arbez, Bourdon Sansus; Brosseau, Gerin, Bernadou, Fall Raclot, Ikahehegi, Squire, L Champon, T Feleu.

Replacements: Riffonneau, Deshaye, Khalfaoui, Maka, Okemba, A Chambon, Tuy, Boulard.
