France coach Fabien Galthie has made one injury-enforced change to his backline for the home Six Nations clash with Italy at the Stade de France on Sunday.
Arthur Vincent comes into the side at outside centre to replace New Zealand-born Virimi Vakatawa, who has not fully recovered from a triceps injury sustained early on in the stunning 24-17 home victory over England in their opener last weekend.
Vincent, 20, will make his first start after coming off the bench against England.

"Vincent is a player with a perfect career: he is part of the generation of the world champion under-20, captain last year," Galthie told reporters.
"He is present at every match with his Montpellier club. He performs very well in training with us. We expect him to be himself, to bring us his strengths, his maturity and his youth, too.
"He is more of a multi-purpose centre that can play both the first and second centre positions."
The rest of the starting team remains unchanged, with Charles Ollivon leading the team from the side of the scrum.
There is also one change among the replacements as lock Romain Taofifenua replaces Vincent, with Galthie opting for an extra forward against the physical Italians.
"This option had been considered before England and we decided to choose it this week," Galthie said.
"We have placed two locks, including the more hybrid profile of Boris Palu, who can cover four positions -- both lock positions and on either flank (in the scrum)."
Italy have also made just one change, with Jayden Hayward drafted in at fullback as coach Franco Smith hopes to see his side bounce back from a 42-0 loss to Wales.
Hayward comes off the bench to take over from Matteo Minozzi, who moves out to the wing in place of Leonardo Sarto.
Sarto drops out of the matchday squad altogether, with Mattia Bellini playing as the third member of the back three.
