(Reuters) - Scrumhalf Baptiste Serin and flyhalf Francois Trinh-Duc will start France's final November test against Japan at the brand new U-Arena, among eight changes by coach Guy Noves after defeats against New Zealand and South Africa.

Serin and Trinh-Duc replace Antoine Dupont and Anthony Belleau, who failed to make the most of their opportunities in a 38-18 loss to the All Blacks and last Saturday's 18-17 defeat against South Africa, both at the Stade de France.
