PARIS (AP) " Flyhalf Francois Trinh-Duc was wanted by France again, this time to face Samoa on Saturday in Toulouse. Trinh-Duc, who turns 30 on Friday, has been in an out of the Tricolors, and was left out of last year's Rugby World Cup. Trinh-Duc made his debut in February 2008, and was a mainstay of the side that achieved the Six Nations Grand Slam in 2010 and reached the Rugby World Cup final the following year. South African-born Scott Spedding starts at fullback, where his kicking game will prove useful to pressure Samoa with territorial gains. ___France: Scott Spedding, Yoann Huget, Remi Lamerat, Wesley Fofana, Virimi Vakatawa, Francois Trinh-Duc, Maxime Machenaud; Louis Picamoles, Kevin Gourdon, Loann Goujon, Yoann Maestri, Julien Le Devedec, Uni Atonio, Guilhem Guirado, Jefferson Poirot.
