French captain Thierry Dusautoir has been recalled to the national rugby squad for next month's tests against New Zealand, Tonga and South Africa following a knee injury.
The Toulouse flanker missed June's three-match whitewash in New Zealand including an embarrassing 30-0 shut-out in the second test.
Dusautoir is looking forward to the opportunity for revenge, and not just against the All Blacks.
France lost 19-14 to Tonga the last time the two sides met at the 2011 World Cup whilst their previous clash with the Springboks ended in a crushing 42-17 defeat in Cape Town in 2010.
