France coach Marc Lievremont has named an unchanged squad for Saturday's Rugby World Cup semifinal against Wales.
Lievremont announced his team Tuesday, sticking with the same starting XV and bench which beat England 19-12 in the quarterfinals.
France has won six of the last seven meetings between the teams, but Wales has been the form side at the World Cup.
Lievremont's team has already played twice at Eden Park during the tournament, losing to New Zealand in the pool stage and beating England in the first knockout round. Wales has yet to play on Eden Park.
