Marco Tauleigne is handed his first start in place of the injured Kevin Gourdon at number eight, with the experienced Louis Picamoles taking a seat on the bench.
Geoffrey Doumayrou returns to the starting XV after a slight knock kept him out of the Ireland clash.
Henry Chavancy drops out of the 23-man squad entirely after playing the full match in Paris last weekend.
Remi Lamerat is shifted to inside-centre to accommodate Doumayrou at outside-centre.
