Plisson replaces injured Bernard

Stade Francais flyhalf Jules Plisson has replaced injured Pierre Bernard in France's squad for next week's Six Nations game against Wales.

Bernard was ruled out after limping off with a knee injury in Bordeaux-Begles' 28-23 win over Toulon in Top 14 action on Saturday.

Plisson, aged 23, has turned out four times for Les Bleus, making his debut in last year's Six Nations championship.

France face Wales at the Stade de France needing a win to keep alive their faint hopes of a Six Nations title.
