France recall Chabal for Australia Test
Sebastien Chabal has been recalled to the French side that will play Australia on Saturday. Coach Marc Lievremont is experimenting with his side and there is a place for his brother Matthieu among the replacements, seven of whom would make their international debuts if they came on.
And Lievremont has given full debuts to prop Benoit Lecouls and wing Alexis Palisson, while Australia have named the same team that beat Ireland 18-12 on Saturday.
And Lievremont was happy with the mix of youth and experience after recalling Chabal for the first time since last year's World Cup.
France: Elhorga, Palissson, Trinh-Duc, Traille, Thiery, Boyet, Yachvili, Picamoles, Ouedraogo, Harinordoquy, Nallet (captain), Chabal, Lecouls, Bruno, Faure.
Australia: Shepherd, Hynes, Mortlock (captain), Barnes, Tuqiri, Giteau, Burgess, Palu, Smith, Elsom, Sharpe, Horwill, Dunning, Moore, Robinson.
