Biarritz Olympique prop Sylvain Marconnet has been recalled to the France squad ahead of the Six Nations Championship.

The 34-year-old has not played for Les Bleus since last season’s tournament but is rewarded for his recent form with the Heineken Cup side.

Vincent Clerc, Clement Poitrenaud and Maxime Médard all feature after missing out in the Autumn but Stade Français hooker Dimitri Szarzewski misses out after suffering an Achilles tendon injury.

France kick-off their Six Nations campaign against Scotland in Paris on February 5.
