The Montpellier player, who was omitted from last year's World Cup squad by Philippe Saint-Andre, is new manager Guy Noves's favourite flyhalf.

He missed the first two Six Nations games due to a shin injury.

Trinh-Duc will be in competition with Jules Plisson for a place in the starting lineup against Wales on Feb. 26.
