Traille back for France against All Blacks
(11-24 19:00)
Damien Traille was given the starting job at full back in the French side to play New Zealand in Marseille on Saturday.
The return of the veteran Biarritz player is one of seven changes, one positional, made by coach Marc Lievremont from the side that defeated Samoa 45-3 in Paris last Saturday.
He replaces Maxime Medard, who gets the nod on the wing in a back line that includes two other Toulouse players in record try scorer Vincent Clerc and Yannick Jauzion, pictured.
Francois Trinh-Duc of Montpellier fills the No 10 shirt for the third successive game and renews his partnership with Julien Dupuy of Stade Francais.
In the pack, William Servat comes in at hooker for Dimitri Szarzewski, while Fabien Barcella, who starred in the 20-13 win over world champions South Africa, returns at prop.
Sebastien Chabal retains his position at lock and will be partnered by the rising Romain Millo-Chluski of Toulouse.
In the back row, Fulgence Ouedrago returns from injury alongside No 8 Julien Bonnaire and skipper Thierry Dusautoir.
