France coach Philippe Saint-Andre has thrown the keys to his backline to born-again five-eighth Frederic Michalak for this weekend's Test against the Wallabies in Paris.

The 30-year-old Michalak, who moved back to France this year after playing Super Rugby in South Africa, has re-ignited his Test career and was favoured over Francois Trinh-Duc for Saturday's (Sunday EDT) clash.

Saint-Andre brought Michalak back to the fold in June's two-Test tour of Argentina with his return coming five years after he was dumped from the national side following the 2007 World Cup.

Michalak starred in the 49-10 second Test win over Argentina when he kicked 19 points in his 55th Test appearance.

Halfback Morgan Parra, who has missed some training sessions this week with a thigh injury, has been named on the bench with Maxime Machenaud to wear the No.9 jersey.

Saint-Andre has opted to start centre Wesley Fofana on the wing for a second time while the coach has stuck with fullback Brice Dulin, who is set for his third Test cap after touring Argentina earlier this year.

Loose head prop Yannick Forestier will make his debut, packing down with hooker Dimitri Szarzewski and Nicolas Mas.

France squad: Brice Dulin, Wesley Fofana, Florian Fritz, Maxime Mermoz, Vincent Clerc, Frederic Michalak, Maxime Machenaud, Louis Picamoles, Fulgence Ouedraogo, Yannick Nyang, Yoann Maestri, Pascal Pape (capt), Nicolas Mas, Dimitri Szarzewski, Yannick Forestier. Reserves: Benjamin Kayser, Thomas Domingo, Vincent Debaty, Jocelino Suta, Damien Chouly, Morgan Parra, Francois Trinh-Duc, Yoann Huget (one to be ommitted)
