France has opted for fresh legs in making three changes to its side for the second test against the All Blacks in Wellington on Saturday.

Nicholas Mas replaces Sylvain Marconnet at prop, while Sebastien Chabal comes off the bench and into lock for Pascal Pape.

Both Marconnet and Pape drop out of the squad entirely.

Centre Mathieu Bastareaud goes back to the bench, with Maxime Mermoz to start in midfield.
