RACING 92 BACKS Brice Dulin and Henry Chavancy were amongst seven players added to France’s initial Six Nations squad for next Saturday’s clash with Ireland in Dublin.
Dulin, who has 25 caps, earned his recall after an impressive display in Saturday’s 33-25 win over Brive in the Top 14, having been overlooked for the start of the Six Nations.
Chavancy, meanwhile, had been called into the French squad for the first time last month following the Achilles injury suffered by first-choice centre Wesley Fofana.
However, the following day the 28-year-old Chavancy was forced to withdraw, to be replaced by Toulon’s Mathieu Bastareaud.
