France coach Marc Lievremont made 14 changes from the side that lost to South Africa when he named his line-up on Tuesday for the tour match against an Argentina XV in La Plata on Friday.

Backrow forward Wenceslas Lauret, who made his Test debut in the 42-17 defeat by the world champions in Cape Town last weekend, is the only survivor from that team.

Scrum-half Dimitri Yachvili, who picked up a yellow card in the Cape Town Test, captains the side with David Skrela outside him at fly-half.

France face Argentina in a one-off Test in Buenos Aires on June 26.

Team (15-1) Jerome Porical; Julien Malzieu, Florian Fritz, Lionel Mazars, Marc Andreu; David Skrela, Dimiti Yachvili (capt); Louis Picamoles, Gregory Lamboley, Wenceslas Lauret, Pascale Pape, Julien Pierre, Luc Ducalcon, Guilhem Guirado, Fabien Barcella

Replacements: Dimitri Szarzewski, Jean-Baptiste Poux, Romain Millo-Chluski, Julien Bonnaire, Morgan Parra, Francois Trinh-Duc, Aurelien Rougerie
