Guy Noves has announced his latest 32-man France squad

France head coach Guy Noves has named a 32-man France squad for November internationals against Samoa, Australia and New Zealand.

Noves, who managed French rugby giants Toulouse from 1993 to 2015 winning four European Cup titles, was named France manager after the 2015 World Cup following the dismissal of Philippe Saint-Andre.

Within his latest squad Noves has called up Toulon flanker Charles Ollivon to cover injured Racing 92 back-rower Bernard Le Roux.

Northampton Saints number eight Louis Picamoles was also called up despite the former Toulouse man having been absent from Noves' 30-man 'elite squad' named before the season in July.

Noves has picked Francois Trinh-Duc, Jules Plisson and Jean-Marc Doussain as his fly-half options, while Sebastien Bezy, Baptiste Serin and Maxime Machenaud will compete for the scrum-half position.

Toulon blindside Charles Ollivon has earned a surprise call-up

Racing 92 full-back Brice Dulin and Clermont Auvergne fly-half Camille Lopez are two notable omissions.

Les Blues begin their autumn schedule against Samoa in Toulouse on 12 November, before facing Australia and the All Blacks on 19 November and 26 November respectively at the Stade de France.
