Paris - France coach Philippe Saint-Andre has called up prop Nicolas Mas, scrumhalf Rory Kockott and centre Maxime Mermoz on Thursday for his 30-strong squad to prepare for the Six Nations match against Italy.
The French were left reeling last weekend when they lost 20-13 to Wales at the Stade de France ending any hopes they had of winning this year's tournament.
Saint-Andre subsequently launched a bitter attack on his players saying that some of them were "prima-donnas" who failed to live up to their responsibilities on the field.
