France coach Marc Lievremont called up fullback Clement Poitrenaud and locks Pascal Pape and Romain Millo-Chluski to his Six Nations squad Wednesday to play England.
Continuing his policy of using the tournament to try out players, Lievremont left out rookie fullback Anthony Floch and locks Loic Jacquet and Arnaud Mela for the Feb. 23 match at Stade de France.
Poitrenaud, who has 31 caps, last played for France against Georgia at the 2007 World Cup.
Pape's last cap, his 18th, came in a 61-10 loss to New Zealand in June. Millo-Chluski has played just one international, a 30-30 draw with South Africa in 2005.
France beat Scotland and Ireland earlier this month and tops the Six Nations standings with Wales.
