France remain unchanged in their starting XV for the visit of South Africa in Paris Saturday. Les Blues head coach Guy Noves will keep faith with the XV that started their 38-18 defeat to New Zealand last week. Sébastien Taofifenua is the only addition to the bench and will win his first cap should he come on at the Stade de France. Noves' team announcement comes a day after France beat South Africa to win the right to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup. France team to face South Africa: Ducuing, Thomas, Bastareaud, Doumayrou, Huget, Belleau, Dupont; Poirot, Guirado (captain), Slimani, Vahaamahina, Gabrillagues, Cancoriet, Gourdon, PIcamoles. Replacements: Maynadier, Taofifenua, Kotze, Jedrasiak, Jelonch, Serin, Trinh-Duc, Penaud.
