France have called up 15 extra players ahead of their rugby Test against South Africa, including a replacement for injured lock Killian Geraci.
Geraci was a late withdrawal from France's 30-29 win over Australia in their Autumn Nations Series Test on Saturday and the French rugby federation on Monday confirmed his removal from the squad due to a knee injury.

Eight of the 15 new players called up to prepare for the match against the world champion Springboks have never played for France.
Toulouse lock Thibaud Flament linked up with Cameron Woki in the second row against Australia after Paul Willemse was also ruled out, because of a thigh injury.
South Africa will be without influential lock Lood de Jager for the test, and may lose him for the rest of the tour.
De Jager injured his shoulder in the weekend loss to Ireland in Dublin and left the team camp to see a specialist on Monday. He has had several lengthy absences due to shoulder problems in the last few years.
It is likely he will be replaced in the starting line-up by Franco Mostert, who came on for De Jager on Saturday and scored a try.
