France v England match preview<\/p>\n

When the tournament began five weeks ago, this was being tipped as a potential Grand Slam<\/a> decider. How things can change\u2026<\/p>\n

France\u2019s defeat to Scotland last weekend dashed their chances of a clean sweep, but they\u2019re still favourites to claim a second successive title. Following Ireland\u2019s comprehensive 43-21 win over Scotland earlier today, Les Bleus know that any kind of win (or even a draw with a try-scoring bonus) will be enough for them to lift the Six Nations trophy<\/a> tonight. Tens of thousands of fans in the Stade de France will be ready and waiting to get the party started.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more to this game for England than spoiling the French party, however. Having lost on their three previous outings against Scotland, Ireland and \u2013 for the first time in history \u2013 Italy, they need to secure their first victory in Paris since 2016 if they\u2019re going to avoid their worst ever Six Nations campaign. While the Wooden Spoon is effectively impossible<\/a>, one victory out of five would be unacceptable for a team that had genuine title aspirations heading into this year\u2019s championship.<\/p>\n

Of course, when you\u2019re on that kind of losing streak, a night in Paris is arguably the last thing you need. There\u2019s little question England have players capable of beating France on their day, as they did at Twickenham last year. But can they raise their game tonight and help send a third title in four years to Dublin?<\/p>\n
