George North is back in Wales' starting XV for their Six Nations clash with France on Saturday.

Head coach Warren Gatland has made four changes to his side for the Paris clash with North, Samson Lee, Luke Charteris and Scott Baldwin all coming into the team.

"We have made some tough calls and there were some tight decisions but it is a very strong team we are putting out," said Gatland.

"We felt we improved against Scotland and we are looking for another improvement this weekend. It's a tough competition to go on the road and ask for that but that is what we are looking for."
