French Barbarians make ten changes


The French Barbarians have made a number of changes for the second match against South Africa 'A' in Soweto this weekend.

Julien Dumora comes in at full-back with Louis Dupichot moving to the right wing, while there is a new centre partnership as Lucas Dupont links up with Arnaud Mignardi.

Fabrice Estebanez is another new face on the left but the half-backs remain the same, with Frédéric Michalak captaining the side at fly-half.

In the back row Antoine Erbani and Romain Sazy join last week's number eight Marco Tauleigne, while Félix Lambey comes into the second row to partner Alexandre Flanquart.

Finally two new faces in the front see Clément Ric start at tighthead, with Anthony Ertillard getting the nod at hooker.
