French coach Marc Lievremont called Montpellier forward Fulgence Ouedraogo into his 23-man squad to face Australia in next Saturday's rugby Test in place of Imanol Harinordoquy.

The change is the only one to the squad that saw off Argentina 15-9 on Saturday in Montpellier.

"Imanol was skipper against Fiji (a disjointed 34-12 win), a replacement against Argentina and today he is out of the group. It's true this is tough for him but we are confident in his ability to bounce back," said Lievremont.

Saturday's match at Stade de France is the last of Australia's spring tour.

French squad: Thomas Domingo, Jerome Schuster, Luc Ducalcon, Nicolas Mas, Guilhem Guirado, Wiliam Servat, Lionel Nallet, Julien Pierre, Jerome Thion, Fulgence Ouedraogo, Julien Bonnaire, Thierry Dusautoir (capt), Sebastien Chabal, Morgan Parra, Dimitri Yachvili, Damien Traille, Fabrice Estebanez, Yannick Jauzion, Aurelien Rougerie, Marc Andreu, Yoann Huget, Alexis Palisson, Jerome Porical.
