George North returns to the Wales starting XV for their Six Nations clash with France in Paris.

George North has been recalled to the Wales starting lineup for Saturday's Six Nations clash with France in Paris.

The winger was forced to miss his side's win over Scotland last time out due to concussion protocol.

The Welsh Rugby Union came under fire after North was allowed to stay on the field during their opening-weekend defeat to England after suffering two blows to the head.

North replaces Alex Cuthbert in the team, while Samson Lee, Luke Charteris and Scott Baldwin are also given the nod by coach Warren Gatland ahead of their trip to the French capital.

"We have made some tough calls and there were some tight decisions but it is a very strong team we are putting out," Gatland told the WRU's official website.

"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."

Wales team to face France:

Leigh Halfpenny (Toulon), George North (Northampton Saints), Jonathan Davies (ASM Clermont Auvergne), Jamie Roberts (Racing Metro), Liam Williams (Scarlets), Dan Biggar (Ospreys), Rhys Webb (Ospreys), Gethin Jenkins (Cardiff Blues), Scott Baldwin (Ospreys), Samson Lee (Scarlets), Luke Charteris (Racing Metro), Alun Wyn Jones (Ospreys), Dan Lydiate (Ospreys), Sam Warburton (Cardiff Blues), Taulupe Faletau (Newport Gwent Dragons)
Replacements: Richard Hibbard (Gloucester), Paul James (Bath), Aaron Jarvis (Ospreys), Bradley Davies (Wasps), Justin Tipuric (Ospreys), Mike Phillips (Racing Metro), Rhys Priestland (Scarlets), Scott Williams (Scarlets)
