France coach Guy Noves has recalled Jules Plisson and named rookies Damian Penaud, Anthony Jelonch and Vincent Rattez in his squad for next month's tour of South Africa.

Stade Francais fly-half Plisson has not been called up since June 2016 when he joined France's tour of Argentina but was sidelined thereafter.

La Rochelle prop Mohamed Boughanmi is also in line for a first cap although he was included in the France group during the 2017 Six Nations.

Clermont centre Penaud, 20, Castres' Jelonch, 20, and La Rochelle winger Rattez, 25, were called up for the first time.
