France head coach Jacques Brunel has made two changes to the starting line-up for the upcoming clash against Argentina scheduled to be played at Stade Pierre Mauroy on Saturday.

Yoann Huget gets a recall and he replaces Damian Penaud on the left wing after the latter sustained an ankle injury during the clash against South Africa last weekend.

The other changes sees Geoffrey Doumayrou dropping out of the matchday23 squad with Gael Fickou earning a promotion from the bench to take the number 12 spot.

France were edged out by the Springboks with a 26-29 margin during their opening game of the autumn international series and will take on Argentina and Fiji on 17th and 24th November respectively.

France line-up: Maxime Medard, Teddy Thomas, Mathieu Bastareaud, Gael Fickou, Yoann Huget, Camille Lopez, Baptiste Serin, Louis Picamoles, Artur Iturria, Wenceslas Lauret, Yoan Maestri, Sebastien Vahaamahina, Cedate Gomes Sa, Guilhem Guirado (c), Jefferson Poirot

Replacements: Camille Chat, Dany Priso, Rabah Slimani, Paul Gabrillagues, Mathieu Babillot, Antoine Dupont, Anthony Belleau, Benjamin Fall
