Fabien Galthie has included nine uncapped players in his 42-man France squad for the Autumn Nations Series as they prepare to face Argentina, Georgia and New Zealand.
Four of the new faces are forwards, with Bordeaux Begles prop Thierry Paiva selected alongside second rows Thibaud Flament, Florent Vanverberghe and Florian Verhaeghe.
A further five new additions are included among the 19 backs, with Toulouse winger Matthis Lebel and Racing 92’s wing Donovan Taofifenua in contention for their first international caps.
Bordeaux No.9 Maxime Lucu is another of the uncapped contingent named in the squad and will compete for a spot alongside 2020 Player of the Championship Antoine Dupont and Lyon scrum-half Baptiste Couilloud.
Clermont Auvergne centre Tani Vili and Bordeaux full-back Romain Buros are the other two stars included who are yet to make their international bows for Les Bleus.
Hooker Camille Chat, centre Pierre-Louis Barassi and wing Teddy Thomas miss out through injury.
Scouting out France: Familiar foes and an All Black test
In the absence of regular captain Charles Ollivon, who suffered an ACL injury while playing for Toulon in June, France will have a new leader.
Team manager Raphael Ibanez confirmed one of Gregory Alldritt, Dupont, Gael Fickou, Anthony Jelonch or Julien Marchand would be handed the captaincy.
France host Los Pumas in their Autumn Nations Series opener on November 6 before taking on Georgia the following Sunday and finishing their campaign against the All Blacks.
