Lancaster said: "We thought long and hard about changing a winning team which did so well against Ireland.
"But we believe that Dylan, Courtney and Manu are ready for the opportunity and allow us to vary our play, while the bench will add impact and energy as the game unfolds in the second half.
"The players are really looking forward to getting back to Twickenham. The atmosphere in the stadium is fantastic and, hopefully, the crowd can get behind us in what is sure to be a great challenge against a motivated and physical French team."
