France coach Philippe Saint-Andre has made four changes to his pack for Saturday's Six Nations clash against Ireland in Paris.
Lock Yoann Maestri will make his first start in place of Lionel Nallet, who drops to the bench, while Imanol Harinordoquy replaces Julian Bonnaire.
In the front row, Jean-Baptiste Poux and Dimitri Szarzewski take over from Vincent Debaty and William Servat.
The backline is unchanged from Saturday's 30-12 win over Italy .
Saint-Andre has opted to strengthen his line-out by bringing in Harinordoquy and and 6ft 6in Maestri.
The World Cup runners-up also had problems in the scrum and rucks against Italy, so Poux and Szarzewski come into the starting line-up.
Maestri earned his first cap last weekend by replacing Nallet at Stade de France.
"He has improved a lot in his discipline and defence," Saint-Andre said of Maestri.
"When he came off the bench, he was flawless, he did what was expected from him.
"When the Italians wanted to carry the ball, he stopped them. He was also exceptionally clean at the breakdown.
"He has everything to be a great lock.
"He's an interesting option for the line-out. With him, [Pascal] Pape and Imanol, we have three quality jumpers."
