Half-backs Remi Tales and Morgan Parra will lead the French attack for the third game in a row with both again named in Philippe Saint-Andre's XV to face South Africa on Saturday.

There is only one change to the side which lost 26-19 to New Zealand two weeks ago with winger Sofiane Guitoune replacing Maxime Medard after his dominant display in the 38-18 victory over Tonga last week.

Yoann Maestri is able to keep his place with no further action taken following his red card in that match.

France XV: Dulin, Huget, Fritz, Fofana, Guitoune, Tales, Parra, Chouly, Lauret, Dusautoir (c), Maestri, Pape, Mas, Kayser, Forestier.

Replacements: Szarzewski, Domingo, Slimani, Sebastien Vahaamahina, Yannick Nyanga, Jean-Marc Doussain, Frederic Michalak, Mathieu Bastareaud.
