Dublin-born Joshua Brennan has been called into the France squad for their Six Nations opener against Ireland in Paris on 5 February.

The Tolouse lock, who is the son of former Ireland second row Trevor Brennan, has been added to Fabien Galthie's squad as a replacement for his club-mate Thibaud Flament.

On Thursday Flament said he would miss the game because it clashes with his wife's fertility treatment.

The 24-year-old Brennan made his France debut against the All Blacks in July, appearing twice on the tour of New Zealand when Galthie rested many of his front-line players.

He has again been a regular at the Stade Ernest Wallon this season, starting nine games for Toulouse and coming off the bench in a further three.

While primarily a lock, he has also appeared in the back row.

Trevor Brennan won 13 caps for Ireland between 1998 and 2001 before moving to play in France with Toulouse in 2002.
