Lievremont makes four changes for Scotland clash
France have made four changes to the team which started the 30-21 defeat against Ireland for Saturday's RBS Six Nations match against Scotland in Paris.
Les Blues must beat Scotland to salvage any hopes of regaining the Six Nations championship they won in 2007 but missed out on last year.
Head coach Marc Lievremont has replaced Julien Malzieu on the left wing with Cedric Heymans in what is the only change in the back line.
Props Fabien Barcella and Nicolas Mas and lock Romain Millo-Chluski have also been called up in place of Lionel Faure, Benoit Lecouls and Sebastien Chabal in the pack.
Lionel Nallet is once again named captain, even though the Castres lock is struggling for form at the moment.
Lievremont gave Nallet the captain's armband when he took over as head coach after the 2007 World Cup and he has no intention of taking it off him.
"At no time have we envisaged changing our captain," Lievremont said.
"He is our captain. In no way is it a handicap to start him. We are very happy with his performance (against Ireland)."
France: 15 Clement Poitrenaud, 14 Maxime Medard, 13 Yannick Jauzion, 12 Florian Fritz, 11 Cedric Heymans, 10 Lionel Beauxis; 9 Sebastien Tillous-Borde; 8-Imanol Harinordoquy, 7 Fulgence Ouedraogo, 6 Thierry Dusautoir, 5 Lionel Nallet (capt), 4 Romain Millo-Chluski, 3 Nicolas Mas, 2 Dimitri Szarzewski, 1 Fabien Barcella.
Replacements: 16 Benjamin Kayzer, 17 Renaud Boyoud, 18 Sebastien Chabal, 19 Louis Picamoles, 20 Morgan Parra, 21 Benoit Baby, 22 Julien Malzieu.
