France 42 Pacific Islands 17: MONTPELLIER SCRUMHALF Julien Tomas has replaced Jean-Baptiste Elissalde in a 23-man France squad to play Australia next Saturday.
Elissalde was knocked out by a high tackle from Napolioni Nalaga in Saturday's win.
Tomas (23), earned his only cap in a win over Italy in this year's Six Nations championship.
Referee Nigel Owens sent off Nalaga in just the 18th minute of Saturday's match after the Fijian powerhouse, who plays for Clermont Auvergne, knocked out Elissalde with a late and high tackle.
When Nalaga was sent off, the Islanders were leading 6-3 thanks to two penalties from outhalf Seremaia Bai, who also plays with Clermont, against one converted by France number 10 David Skrela.
Seven minutes later, the French scored their first try from hooker Dimitri Szarzewski after wing Julien Malzieu broke through the Islanders' defence.
Skrela converted, and three minutes later replacement scrumhalf Sebastien Tillous-Bordes crossed after Cedric Heymans sidestepped and delivered a well-timed pass.
The Islanders reduced the gap to 17-12 before the break thanks to two more penalties by Bai, but the French capitalised on their numerical advantage in the second half.
They ran in three more tries by Heymans, Louis Picamoles and fullback Maxime Medard.
The Islanders scored a face-saving try by Harlequins centre Epi Taione three minutes from time.
