Gaël Fickou and Yoann Huget have been promoted to France’s starting line-up for their clash with Argentina on Saturday.
Les Bleus, who suffered late heartbreak at the hands of South Africa in their opening autumn fixture last weekend, going down 29-26, go looking to bounce back to winning ways against Los Pumas at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille.
Head coach Jacques Brunel has opted for consistency in his line-up, making just two changes to the team bested by the Springboks last time out.
Fickou, 24, comes in at inside centre, replacing Geoffrey Doumayrou, who drops out of the France matchday squad altogether.
Meanwhile, Toulouse wing Huget has been handed the No. 11 shirt, taking the place of Damian Penaud, who has been ruled out of the remainder of Les Bleus autumn Tests with an ankle injury.
France XV to face Argentina: 15. Maxime Médard, 14. Teddy Thomas, 13. Mathieu Bastareaud, 12. Gaël Fickou, 11. Yoann Huget, 10. Camille Lopez, 9. Baptiste Serin, 1. Jefferson Poirot, 2. Guilhem Guirado (C), 3. Cedate Gomes Sa, 4. Sébastien Vahaamahina, 5. Yoann Maestri, 6. Wenceslas Lauret, 7. Arthur Iturria, 8. Louis Picamoles
