Rattez replaces Ramos in France's Six Nations squad
Montpellier winger Vincent Rattez was called up to France's Six Nations squad on Tuesday (AEDT) as a replacement for Toulouse full-back/fly-half Thomas Ramos.
A regular pick for coach Fabien Galthie at the start of his tenure, Rattez was a notable absentee from the initial naming of the 37-strong squad.
The 28-year-old, capped eight times, will replace Ramos, with the rugby federation not specifying why he was now unavailable.
Galthie will now have only two out-and-out full-backs in the squad: Anthony Bouthier (Montpellier) and Brice Dulin (La Rochelle).
The France squad meets up on 25 January for a training camp in Nice before a scheduled kick-off of the 2021 Six Nations in Rome against Italy on 7 February (AEDT).
