He steps in instead of Chaume after the Clerment prop was injured in France's 18-38 defeat to New Zealand.

Chaume's injury came as he too was making his international debut when coming on as a late substitute at the Stade de France on Saturday. France's coaching staff did not specify what injury Chaume had suffered.

Taofifenua was selected for the France squad following an impressive display in the French Barbarian's 19-15 win over the Maori All Blacks on Friday.
