Stade Francais have named a power-packed team that features 11 full internationals for the Amlin Challenge Cup opener with Worcester Warriors at Sixways Stadium on Thursday evening (kick-off 7.45pm).
The French giants have switched Felipe Contepomi to outside centre, after he impressed at fly half against Clermont at the weekend, where he will line up alongside fellow Argentinean ace Gonzalo Tiesi.
Former England wing Paul Sackey and Djibril Camara offer the pace out wide while Samoan international Paul Williams occupies the full back slot. Former Munster ace Paul Warwick and Jerome Fillol combine at half back.
Legendary front rower Rodrigo Roncero is part of a pack that also includes internationals Aled De Malmanche, Stan Wrght, Tom Palmer, Pascal Pape, David Lyons and captain Sergio Parisse.
