Flanker Fulgence Ouedraogo and hooker William Servat have been handed starting berths for France’s final autumn international against New Zealand in Marseille on Saturday.

The pair were recalled to the squad by coach Marc Lievremont on Sunday following Les Bleus’ 43-5 victory over Samoa in Paris.

Romain Millo Chluski and Fabien Barcella also come back into the pack, while Julien Dupuy is preferred to Morgan Parra and Damien Traille has been named at full-back.

Number eight Imanol Harinordoquy and flanker Louis Picamoles were not in contention due to injury.

Perpignan centre Maxime Mermoz yesterday pulled out of the squad with a thigh strain and was replaced by Toulouse winger Cedric Heymans, who is on the bench. Lock Lionel Nallet, recalled to the squad on Sunday, is also among the substitutes.

Winger Benjamin Fall, who scored a try on debut against Samoa on Saturday, was originally named in the party but had to withdraw due to a thigh injury with Yann David coming in.

Les Bleus will be looking for a clean sweep of autumn international successes following victories over world champions South Africa and Samoa.
