Fabien Galthie has made four changes to his Stade Français side for their Heineken Cup clash against Bristol at the Memorial Ground on Sunday.
On the back of their opening round victory over Harlequins, Galthie has opted to swap his front row as well as replacing Christophe Dominici on the left wing.
The new front row of Pedro Ledesma, Dimitri Szarzewski and Franck Montanella make a straight swap with last weeks trio, who drop down to the bench.
Hooker Szarzewski will captain the side, taking over the arm band from Mathieu Blin.
The decision to bring Julien Arias in on the left wing is a result of an injury to Dominici and is the only change to the back line.

Bristol: 15 L Arscott, 14 T Arscott, 13 R Higgitt, 12 N Brew, 11 D Lemi, 10 D Hill, 9 S Perry (c); 1 A Clarke, 2 M Regan, 3 J Hobson, 4 R Winters, 5 S Hohneck, 6 A Blowers, 7 J El Abd, 8 D Ward-Smith
