The loosehead prop Fabien Barcella, who was a surprise addition to the France World Cup squad after battling for fitness following a serious injury, has been named to start his country's opening match in the tournament against Japan on Saturday.
Barcella ruptured his Achilles tendon in August last year and, though he played in France's 26-22 victory over Ireland in a warm-up Test last month, he looked off the pace and was a surprise inclusion in the World Cup squad at the expense of the experienced Sylvain Marconnet.
The coach, Marc Lièvremont, also named Aurélien Rougerie in the side to face Japan at North Harbour Stadium in Albany despite the centre breaking his ankle three months ago, though he did play in France's build-up matches last month.
Lièvremont has also given the scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili the opportunity to establish himself as first choice over Morgan Parra.
Parra has been a mainstay in Lievremont's line-up but Lièvremont said on Tuesday that Yachvili "is in fine form" and that his excellent performance against Ireland last month weighed in his favour.
The No8 Raphael Lakafia, who made his debut against Ireland last month, forms a loose forward trio with Imanol Harinordoquy and the captain, Thierry Dusautoir.
