PARIS - France made 10 changes, one of them positional, to face Argentina in their rugby World Cup third-place playoff at the Parc des Princes on Saturday.
Coach Bernard Laporte kept just six of the players who started Sunday's 14-9 semifinal defeat by England and switched Damien Traillefrom fullback to centre.
Three players, lock Fabien Pelous, centre Yannick Jauzion and prop Olivier Milloud, were ruled out by injuries.
Lock Sebastien Chabal, whose citing for an alleged dangerous tackle on England lock Simon Shaw has been dismissed, is among the replacements.
