The Bordeaux-Begles wing, who has been in sensational scoring form this season, was forced to withdraw from the opening match of the Championship with a muscle injury, but is poised to return at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium, where he scored two tries in a 10-53 win two years ago.

Another player to score a brace in 2023, lock Thibaud Flament, remains out.

Romain Ntamack has been included in Fabien Galthie’s squad despite receiving a red card against Wales at the Stade de France, with a potential ban looming.
