Toulouse stars Ntamack and Baille return to France lineup for Wallabies test
After last featuring for the Top 14 leaders in September, flyhalf Ntamack was named in the France team on Thursday as coach Fabien Galthie made 11 changes to the side that started July's second test win in Japan.
Ntamack will partner captain and Toulouse teammate Antoine Dupont in the halves while Baille, who played his first game of the season last weekend after returning from a groin problem, Julien Marchand and Uini Atonio are in the front row.
Toulouse lock Thibaud Flament will link up with Racing 92's Cameron Woki in the second row after Paul Willemse missed out due to a thigh issue. Elsewhere, Thomas Ramos has been selected at fullback following Melvyn Jaminet's ankle injury.
Charles Ollivon, who missed France's triumphant Six Nations campaign due to a lengthy injury layoff, starts at flanker and joins Gregory Alldritt and Anthony Jelonch in the back row.
Yoram Moefana, Damian Penaud, Ollivon, and Flament retain their places from France's last outing against Japan in Tokyo, when Les Blues were without a number of first-choice players.
