Despite a shock 50-40 defeat to Scotland last time out, France head into the final round top of the standings thanks to a vastly superior points difference to the Scots. That places them in pole position to retain the title and they will be determined to end the campaign in style by inflicting another damaging defeat on England. To do so, they’ll be looking for another strong performance from the devastating wing duo of Louis Bielle-Biarrey and Théo Attissogbe.
England went into the campaign with hopes of claiming the title, but after three straight defeats, find themselves languishing in fifth place. It’s been a brutal reality check for coach Steve Borthwick who has come under pressure for persisting with a rigid kicking strategy last week during the defeat to Italy. He’ll need a huge performance to convince fans that he is the man to lead England forward.
