Lopez to start at 10 for France

France head coach Guy Novès has made three changes to his starting XV for Saturday's clash with New Zealand in Paris.

In the back-line, Camille Lopez comes in at fly-half for Jean-Marc Doussain who wore the number 10 jersey in les Bleus' narrow 25-23 defeat to Australia last weekend.

Lopez will form a halfback partnership with Maxime Machenaud, who will line up at scrum-half in his third consecutive Test after also starting against Australia and Samoa. 

Out wide, Brice Dulin replaces Scott Spedding at full-back. This will be Dulin's first start for France since their 2015 Rugby World Cup quarter-final defeat to the All Blacks.

The final change is in the forwards, where Xavier Chiocci takes over from Cyril Baille at loosehead prop.

France: 15 Brice Dulin, 14 Noa Nakaitaci, 13 Rémi Lamerat, 12 Wesley Fofana, 11 Virimi Vakatawa, 10 Camille Lopez, 9 Maxime Machenaud, 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Kevin Gourdon, 6 Charles Ollivon, 5 Yoann Maestri, 4 Sébastian Vahaamahina, 3 Uini Atonio, 2 Guilhem Guirado (c), 1 Xavier Chiocci
