France v Argentina: Teams

France scrum-half Morgan Parra insists Les Bleus have plenty to prove when they tackle Argentina in Montpellier.

France suffered a hefty 41-13 defeat to the Pumas in the summer having made the trip as the Grand Slam champions.

And with a number of the Argentina squad plying their trade in France, Parra claims he and his team-mates have all the motivation they need.

"There are a lot of their players who play in our championship, who know us well, who are extra motivated when they play against the French team," said the 22-year-old.

"We saw that last summer: they played badly (at home) in two matches against Scotland but then after that against us they produced their best match of the season.

"It is imperative that we put a stop to that."

The inclusion of Parra is one of 14 changes made by coach Marc Lievremont following the stuttering 34-12 win over Fiji in Nantes,

Captain Thierry Dusautoir and No.8 Sebastien Chabal are also among those recalled.

The Pumas have named a strong-looking line-up with Toulon fly-half Felipe Contepomi set to skipper the side.
