​Fly-half Francois Trinh-Duc has been recalled to the France squad for their Six Nations encounter with Wales in Cardiff on February 26.

The Montpellier back was not chosen by Philippe Saint-Andre for the World Cup last year, while injury kept him out of the first two games of new coach Guy Noves' reign against Italy and Ireland.

But the 29-year-old is now fully fit and will come in as back-up to Jules Plisson, who impressed in the 10-9 win over the Irish last Saturday.
