KEY POINTS:
PARIS - Sebastien Chabal was named in the French team for their final World Cup warm-up game against Wales tonight at the Millennium Stadium.
The powerful back rower missed France's 22-9 win over England in Marseille last Saturday because of a sore calf muscle, having won the man of the match award for his 20-minute cameo against the world champions at Twickenham.
Stade Francais' Lionel Beauxis has been included by coach Bernard Laporte to play as a first five-eighths with Pierre Mignoni managing the scrum.
Lock Lionel Nallet has also been named in the starting line-up but is doubtful due to a problem with a calf.
A decision on whether he will play will be made on Sunday morning, a team spokesman said.
Team: Cedric Heymans; Aurelien Rougerie, Yannick Jauzion, David Skrela, Vincent Clerc; Lionel Beauxis, Pierre Mignoni; Remy Martin, Imanol Harinordoquy, Serge Betsen (captain), Lionel Nallet (or Jerome Thion), Sebastien Chabal, Pieter De Villiers, Dimitri Szarzewski, Nicolas Mas.
Replacements: Sebastien Bruno, Jean-Baptiste Poux, Jerome Thion (or Fabien Pelous), Thierry Dusautoir, Jean-Baptiste Elissalde, Damien Traille, Christophe Dominici.
