France have changed more than half their starting side as they look to avoid a series whitewash in the third and final rugby Test against the All Blacks in New Plymouth.
Two of the changes have been forced, with the experienced pair of five-eighth Frederic Michalak and No.8 Louis Picamoles picking up tour-ending injuries in the 30-0 second Test defeat in Christchurch.
Their replacements are Remi Tales, who made his debut off the bench in that match, and South Africa-born Antonie Claassen.
