Philippe Saint-Andre has made five changes to his France team to take on Argentina in Paris on Saturday.
Clermont duo Benjamin Kayser and Sebastien Vahaamahina come into the pack at hooker and lock while Toulon prop Xavier Chiocci is given the nod at loosehead.
In the back line, Toulon centre Maxime Mermoz is given a chance to impress against the Pumas after missing out on the first two Tests this month.
Wing sensation Teddy Thomas who scored four tries over the past two weeks for his first two Test caps was initially named on the left wing but his absence from a team meeting cost him to be dropped and replaced by Maxime Medard.
France are yet to be beaten in November with a 40-15 win over Fiji a fortnight ago and a famous 29-26 success over the Wallabies last Saturday.
