France women have made two changes to their side for the second Test against the Black Ferns as they look to complete a clean sweep of New Zealand this autumn.
Les Bleues recorded their largest-ever win over New Zealand last Saturday in Pau, running out 38-13 winners.
And for the second match in Castres, they have made just two changes as 19-year-old Chloé Jacquet starts at full-back, a week after coming off the bench to score, while Marie-Aurélie Castel joins her in the back three, replacing Caroline Boujard who was released to take her firefighting exams.
The rest of the team is as you were, meaning that Cyrielle Banet joins Jacquet and Castel in the back three after her try double.
Pauline Bourdon and Caroline Drouin will be charged with running the show in the half-backs, while Gaëlle Hermet captains the side in a back row that also features Romane Ménager and Emeline Gros.
The entire pack is unchanged with Audrey Forlani and Céline Ferer making up the second row and Coco Lindelauf, Agathe Sochat and Annaëlle Deshayes up front.
There are three changes on the bench where Caroline Thomas comes in as the replacement hooker, while Julie Annery is the back-row cover. And lastly, Morgane Peyronnet is included as the back-up fly-half or centre.
France have won their last three meetings with the Black Ferns after losing the first five encounters between the sides.
