England's fixture list becomes no less daunting this weekend as they host France at Twickenham.

The English were well-beaten by Ireland in Dublin on the opening weekend, despite a late flurry to snatch a bonus point in a 27-22 loss.

Coach Steve Borthwick's men started the game well, but couldn't stop the rising green tide in the second half.

A defeat to France would convert this tournament from an outside title charge to a damage limitation job for England.

France opened the Six Nations in imperious form as they destroyed Wales 43-0 in Paris.

Antoine Dupont ran the show, while wings Theo Attissogbe and Louis Bielle-Biarrey picked up a pair of tries each as the rout unfurled.

However, Romain Ntamack is suspended for the England clash following a red card in the 71st minute of the Wales game.
