Both teams are targeting a tournament win and a Grand Slam. They have each had a perfect run in the competition, bagging four bonus-point wins so far. They now come face-to-face in what will be their most difficult match yet.
The Red Roses will be favourites to win as they are on a 22-match winning streak and have been completely dominant in the championship, whereas France have had a few halves where they have been the weaker side.
But England are not going to underestimate their opponents with head coach Simon Middleton highlighting France’s good run. “I suspect everyone looked at this fixture at the start of the Six Nations and singled it out as a potential decider,” he said. “Well, that’s what we’ve come to.

“France have been in great form during the campaign but so have we. As a staff group, we are massively proud of the way the players have attacked this competition. We challenge them every day to be the best they can be in everything they do both on and off the field and they have risen to the challenge as one.”
