France have reshaped their back-row as they attempt to prevent England from completing the Six Nations Grand Slam in Paris on Saturday.
Les Bleus coach Guy Noves responded to last weekend's defeat to Scotland at Murrayfield by drafting Loann Goujon and Bernard Le Roux into the back-row.
Damien Chouly switches to blindside flanker to make room for Bordeaux-Begles No.8 Goujon to win his 10th cap.
Gone from the 29-18 defeat in Edinburgh are flankers Yacouba Camara and Wenceslas Lauret, but the rest of the side is unchanged as France seek to bounce back from successive defeats to Scotland and Wales.
"We need to bring the freshness in the team for Saturday's game," Noves was quoted as saying on the French Rugby Federation's official Twitter account.
