France coach Jacques Brunel on Thursday inaugurated Fijian-born winger Alivereti Raka, who has no selection, for Saturday's first World Cup match against Scotland in Nice. Camille Lopez will start as an opener.
Lopez, who lost his place in the Six Nations Tournament for the benefit of Romain Ntamack, will be hinged to Antoine Dupont. Charles Ollivon and François Cros, substitutes in the group of 37 players, will start them in the third row, while Jefferson Poirot will be the captain in the absence of Guilhem Guirado, injured.
