FUKUOKA: The threat of a typhoon may be fading over Fukuoka but the winds of change continue to blow through France at the World Cup as they look to build momentum against the United States in their second Pool C encounter on Wednesday.

Flyhalf Romain Ntamack has been demoted while scrumhalf Antoine Dupont has been dropped altogether after the youthful pair started against the Pumas and helped drive France to a 20-3 halftime lead. "This does not question anything about Baptiste Serin. It is hoped that Baptiste, later, will also have a chance," Brunel said.

With a better forecast, Gary Gold's Eagles may struggle to come away with any points in the wake of last week's tempestuous 45-7 loss to England which left them with a heavy injury count.
