- France welcome an England side hoping to bounce back at Stade de France
- Eddie Jones’s Grand Slam hopes were crushed last time out against Scotland
- The Australian head coach has been forced into some changes due to injuries
- France, meanwhile, earned their first win in a year against Italy a fortnight ago
Eddie Jones’s England side travel to Paris for a must-win clash against France on Saturday afternoon.
England’s Grand Slam dream was crushed by Scotland at Murrayfield two weeks ago and they will desperately need a win against Jacques Brunel’s side to get their Six Nations title defence back on track.
France’s woeful 12 months appeared to have turned the corner in their last outing, managing their first victory, over Italy, after a 353-day winless streak.
Whether that was just a flash in the pan, however, is yet to be seen. A win over the No 2-ranked side in world rugby will certainly prove France are turning the corner.
