Trinh-Duc recalled to France squad
The 30-year-old broke his arm playing for France against Samoa in November, but on Saturday made his injury return as Toulon lost 5-15 at Brive.
France coach Guy Noves brought Trinh-Duc into an extended 32-man squad to prepare for the final two Six Nations matches over the next two weeks, away to Italy and then at home to Wales.
Trinh-Duc's recall saw Toulouse halfback Jean-Marc Doussain dropped completely from the squad.
Doussain had been on the bench for France's first two Six Nations matches with Camille Lopez first choice at flyhalf.
Trinh-Duc played at centre against Brive but came through the full 80 minutes.
Noves also called up Stade Francais centre Jonathan Danty and recalled Toulon prop Xavier Chiocci and Brive backrow forward Fabien Sanconnie.
