Stade Francais fly-half Jules Plisson has been called into the France squad for their Six Nations clash with Wales on Saturday.

Plisson replaces Pierre Bernard, who sustained a knee injury in Bordeaux-Begles' 28-23 win over Toulon in Top 14 action on Saturday.

The 23-year-old has four caps and made his debut in last year's Six Nations.

France face Wales at the Stade de France needing a win to keep alive their faint hopes of a Six Nations title.

They opened the tournament with a 15-8 win over Scotland but suffered an 18-11 defeat against Ireland in their most recent outing.
