The 23-year-old, who was part of France's Grand Slam-winning team in the 2010 RBS 6 Nations, started at full-back in the 16-12 loss to Montpellier, having made his first appearance off the bench the previous week.

And with Philippe Saint-André naming his squad for Les Bleus’ autumn internationals on Tuesday, Fall is well-aware of how quickly he needs to prove himself.

He said: “I feel good and I’m starting to get to where I want to be physically. I was a little short last weekend although I played the 80 minutes.

“I’m slowly getting used to being back in the team but last week I made a mistake which ended up costing us the match so I haven’t stopped thinking about that.

“It’s probably a little early for me with the squad announcement. But I’m not going to worry too much about it. I’ll give everything I have this weekend and do all I can.

“Between the squad announcement and the first match there is a whole month so there will be time to prove myself. And I know well the misfortune of some is the good fortune of others so we will see.”
