France coach Philippe Saint-André has put his faith in uncapped fly-half Jules Plisson for their Six Nations opener against England this Saturday. Excellent with ball in hand, Plisson is also something of a drop goal expert.

As shown at the end of the first clip, here he is landing a hat-trick of three-pointers for Stade Français at Perpignan in September, with bonus crude CGI analysis:
Plisson, who has been keeping Morné Steyn out of the Parisian starting XV, has impressed Saint-André for quite a while, and has done enough to hold off the challenge of François Trinh-Duc. So it's probably safe to day that he's the happiest Paris-based number 10 this week.
The full French XV is: Dulin, Huget, Bastareaud, Fofana, Medard, Plisson, Doussain; Domingo, Kayser, Mas, Papé (C), Flanquart, Nyanga, Le Roux, Picamoles.
