Soccer:Marc Lievremont will start Sebastien Chabal at number eight for the first time since he became France coach as he named an experienced line-up for Saturday's test against Argentina in Montpellier.
The French coach announced his squad on Tuesday, making 14 changes to the starting side that defeated Fiji 34-12 in Nantes last weekend as he recalled a majority of the team that won this year's Six Nations tournament.
The only survivor from the Fiji win is outhalf Damien Traille.
The return of the regulars rested for the first of the November tests means that 11 starters of the grand slam-clinching 12-10 win over England in March will be on the pitch for Saturday's kickoff.
Among them are flanker and captain Thierry Dusautoir, lock Lionel Nallet, tighthead prop Nicolas Mas, preferred hooker William Servat, scrumhalf Morgan Parra and backline playmaker Yannick Jauzion.
The Pumas have become a bogey team for Les Bleus since they defeated them in the opening game and the third place playoff of the 2007 World Cup. They also thrashed them 41-13 in Buenos Aires last June.
France: Alexis Palisson; Yoann Huget, Aurelien Rougerie, Yannick Jauzion, Marc Andreu; Damien Traille, Morgan Parra; Thomas Domingo, William Servat, Nicolas Mas; Julien Pierre, Lionel Nallet; Thierry Dusautoir (captain), Julien Bonnaire, Sebastien Chabal.
