Overall, the manager Philippe Saint-André Bleus conducted three touches in his starting team from that defeat by Ireland (24-9) in Sunday’s final group game.
Besides Parra back instead of Tillous-Borde, he chose to grant a tenure Alexandre Dumoulin and Bernard Le Roux to places Bastareaud and Damien Chouly.
The main strategic adjustment is the choice of Parra (26, 65 sel.) had to be content with playing second fiddle so far in the competition. If it has never actually imposed in the era St. Andrew started in 2012, he’s back at the best time. It will be associated with the hinge at flyhalf Frederic Michalak for only the third time. “I decided to do as it is known to start his leadership on the front,” said Saint-André. Cruel fate at least for Tillous-Borde (30 years, 19 sel.), Holder of 10 of the last 13 meetings of the Blues and designated as one of the key pieces of open-frame by St. Andrew.
Another victim among executives, the center Bastareaud (27, 38 sel.) is relegated to the bench in favor of Dumoulin (26 years, 7 sel.). It is a real challenge that makes PSA retaining Dumoulin, who has not yet fully hatched internationally. But, thereby selecting a center more “runner”, the manager and sign his will to streamline the game too stereotypical and one-dimensional Bleus last Sunday against Ireland.
In the pack, St. Andrew has only one editing process with the replacement of captain Damien Chouly button (29, 35 Sel) by Bernard Le Roux (26 years, 22 Sel). This dernierdoit make its physical dimension especially in the rucks, the black point of the last game.
The XV of France will face the All Blacks Saturdays (21 French time) at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

New Zealand side, the coach Steve Hansen will begin center Ma’a Nonu at the expense of Sonny Bill Williams, placed on the bench. Dan Carter, who missed the final through injury of the last World Cup won against France (8-7), unsurprisingly tenured at the opening, alongside scrumhalf Aaron Smith, a team led by the iconic third row and captain Richie McCaw (145 sel., world record). At left pillar, Wyatt Crockett start after the package through injury for the rest of the competition Tony Woodcock
