Philippe Saint-Andre names France's 2015 Six Nations squad

France head coach Philippe Saint-Andre names his 2015 Six Nations squad, which includes a call-up for uncapped winger Noa Nakaitaci.

France have named their 2015 Six Nations squad, with Clermont Auvergne winger Noa Nakaitaci the only uncapped player.

Fiji-born Nakaitaci toured against New Zealand for France in 2013, playing the Blues and scoring two tries, but he is yet to be officially capped for his adopted country.

"He has become an undisputed first choice at Clermont. He scores tries and makes differences. He has progressed enormously this season," said Saint-Andre at his squad announcement.

Toulouse backrow Louis Picamoles has earned himself a recall, while Eddy Ben Arous and Sofiane Guitoune retain their places after impressing in the Autumn Internationals, but Fulgence Ouedrago has been excluded.
